Liturgy as practiced by the catholic church is paganism. We are not eating “the flesh of Jesus and drinking the blood” of Jesus. They are symbols. When I take communion at Christmas and Easter, it is in rememberance of Him and what He did for me on the cross.

We are not supposed to reduce it to a ‘common’ thing either.

If that is the case, then this would mean Revelations is a pagan text. Do you wish to throw out that book as well as James and the deuterocanonicals, and whatever else doesn’t fit into your preconceptions? That’s what the Reformers have always done. If it doesn’t fit the preconception, get rid of the Scripture. I’m sure the Lord is quite pleased with the revisions to his inspired Word. /s

The Early Christians Believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

By the way, paganism is polytheism. It has nothing to do with liturgy, otherwise the Jews and early Christians would be pagans.

[Petronski]

Liturgy as practiced by the Catholic Church is paganism.

The Liturgy of the Word of the Catholic Church is a study and celebration of Scripture. The Liturgy of the Eucharist of the Catholic Church is commanded by Christ, see John Chapter 6. The Real Presence in Holy Eucharist is one of His most beautiful gifts to us.

We are not eating “the flesh of Jesus and drinking the blood” of Jesus.

Well it's clear you're not, anyway.
