Then if Mary is present so must Mary’s parents and if they are present so must their parents and if..

But that sounds eminently reasonable from the logic of Judeao-Christian belief. You lot believe Jesus was human in body, yet fully God also, yes? So it would be natural that the DNA would be human DNA stretching right back to Adam and Eve.

No, it sounds like a confused mishmash of pseudo-christian thought.

“You lot believe Jesus was human in body, yet fully God also, yes?”

No. Jesus is always spoken of as subordinate to the Father in the Scriptures.

Yes, but the problem with that in the RCC is that if anyone else is present in the Eucharist but Christ, then it becomes idolatry. If no man can be worshipped, and Mary is in the Eucharist, and the Eucharist is worshipped (and it is), then Mary is worshipped. A real catch-22. If Mary is not in the Eucharist, then Christ is not fully in the Eucharist, and the Catholic doctrine that the Real Presence of Christ, the true body of Christ, that was born of Mary, in the Eucharist becomes a lie.

Or so it seems to me.
