When will I stop coming on “Holy Communion” threads only to find out that the majority of posters are Protestants with a real hate-on towards Catholicism? It's like constantly opening a box of chocolates only to have it explode in my face!

I have no hate on, but this doctrine does not make sense.

Even as presented it is presented by the Catholics as symbolic, ie it looks like bread, but is really flesh, looks like wine but is really blood.

That’s symbolic.

This is not a stumbling block issue and Catholics should not insist on this odd difficult to explain doctrine to others, as others should not worry of the Catholic thought process on this.

I married into a Catholic family. I still say they are wrong about communion. They say I’m wrong about communion. You know what? We still get together on Christmas and Easter to celebrate as a family the birth, death, burial and resurrection. No hate here.

Then maybe the thread poster should stick to education of Catholic traditions and not take digs at protestants.

Amen.
