Umm, whose reality?

I give you the words of the 3rd Pope about the practices of early Christianity. You disagree with them. That’s your prerogative, certainly, but where is the proof?

The earliest Christians believed of the Eucharist as we do now according to early Church writings. The Council of Trent was enacted for the most part to formally refute the heresies of the Protestants.

You do present an energetic and imaginative series of posts, I will grant you that. Many of us here try to limit ourselves to actual printed material and link answers to questions and so on. I must congratulate you on going beyond that paradigm that so many of us sadly attempt to confine ourselves to.

Wrong, the early church did not believe nor state that the Eucharist was the actual, literal, flesh and blood of Christ. Quite the contrary.
