I appreciate your thoughtful and sincere defense of your belief in transubstantiation.
I respect you for your tone and attitude and believe that you are sincerely convinced of your position.
You offer a good example to follow in the art of apologetics for those with whom you are in communion.
With the "art of apologetics" I am in good company, that is, in communion, with 1 billion Catholics and His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, the successor of Peter, the Rock on which Jesus built His Church.
I am grateful for the blessing to be in His Fold.
Protestants protested. That was the foundation of their being. Ahem, talk about apologists.
