Dude, there are people who believe that since a priest mumbles some words over a cracker and a sip of wine they actually become the flesh and blood of a dead man.

If they believe that’s what they’re consuming, it’s cannibalism. No amount of philosophical rambling will ever change that.

Are you a teenager?

Catholic, Orthodox, Lutheran, nor Anglican churches believe they are consuming the flesh and blood of a dead man. So, no it is not cannibalism.
