I thought the wine was the blood...

This has been in the church for two thousand years. I know you do not understand what we believe but that video is crazy. We believe it is a benign presence.
I think the banter back and forth can get us down the wrong way. I tried to avoid at times myself.
Freeper Regards!
“”I thought the wine was the blood..””
The wine becomes the whole Christ just like the bread is the whole Christ present that is the Body,Blood,Soul and Divinity of Our Lord.
The late Fr John Hardon explains....”The whole substance of bread and wine, its “breadness” and “wineness,” is replaced by the living and glorified Jesus Christ. What remains of what had been bread and wine is only their external properties that can be perceived by the senses. As the Greek Fathers of the Church say, the ousia or being of bread and wine is changed into the being or reality of Jesus Christ. On the altar after the consecration there is no longer bread and wine but the same Jesus who was crucified, died and rose from the grave; and who will come in his glory on the last day to judge the living and the dead.”
You keep telling everyone you understood Catholic teaching because you were once Catholic- but it’s clear you don’t know the basic teaching.
Perhaps you should consider you made mistakes or were taught wrong and convert back to Catholicism?
