I would hate to jump to conclusions here, but is it fair to say you find something objectionable in the doctrine of Transubstantiation? I don't know, I just had a feeling. ;-)
Have you checked out Aquinas on that? I ask because it will be easier to wholeheartedly reject it if you're sure what it is. And there are some misunderstandings.
I kind of agree with our Orthodox brothers on the quasi-philosophical discussion of the Eucharist per Acquinas. I wish it were not so analyzed as it cannot be known using the tools of reason.
However, I hope they can sympathize with the West and see, per this discussion, how the necessity arises.
Transubstantiation..
I know what the RCC says it is already.. others say it isn't that..
I believe them..
