The RCC has no problem LITERALLY believing that bread and wine will convert to drinking His blood and eating His body. That's a literal that NO ONE should take. It's a sin to eat human flesh and a sin to drink human blood. That NEVER changed and to have imaginary cannibalism must grieve Him deeply. Communion is symbolic - not literally imagining you literally drinking His blood and literally eating His body - imagining it transforms into this - gives me the creeps - KNOWING it is SYMPBOLIC.

[46] Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
[47] Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
[48] I am that bread of life.
[49] Your fathers did eat manna in the wilderness, and are dead.
[50] This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die.
[51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven: if any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever: and the bread that I will give is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world.
[52] The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying, How can this man give us his flesh to eat?
[53] Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
[54] Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
[55] For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
[56] He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
[57] As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
[58] This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
[59] These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
[60] Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
[61] When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
[62] What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
[63] It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
[64] But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
[65] And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
[66] From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.

You would have been one of the disciples that left him.

I suggest you actually read the doctrine of substantiation and maybe take a science class too. There's no issue with evolution. God can create however he pleases.

"For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed."

Right, then. Cannibalism it is, mates!
Who's got the recipe?
Here it is, Cap'n.
Right, then.

"...flay their skin from off them, and break their bones in pieces, and chop them up like meat in a kettle, like flesh in a caldron."*

Yummy.
