Why do supposedly fellow Christians spend so much time and energy trying to weaken the Christian faith? Especially when Islam is trying to destroy Christianity entirely. It makes no sense to me.

I said nearly the same thing the other day. It's bewildering.

“...It makes no sense to me...”

I also made a similar point as well on another thread. Why go for the throat of your fellow Christians when they are being beheaded?

The Catholic belief in the real presence need not be attacked - let us believe in peace and we have history and scripture to back us up, as well.

Would the virulent condemnation of Jewish belief (attack for not beliving in Jesus) be appropriate? Of course not. Attacking Christian’s core beliefs when people are dying for the faith is not OK.

Why do you care? Let Catholics be Catholic in peace. Trying to undermine someone else’s beliefs with lies is not Christian.

The Church Fathers ALL taught the real presence of Christ in the eucharist. They were not the precursors of the protestants; they had nothing to protest.

According to protestants, doctrine does not develop, so the whole premise is already just an attack, they don’t even really believe it themselves.
