For everyone’s enlightenment:

TRANSUBSTANTIATION

The complete change of the substance of bread and wine into the substance of Christ’s body and blood by a validly ordained priest during the consecration at Mass, so that only the accidents of bread and wine remain. While the faith behind the term itself was already believed in apostolic times, the term itself was a later development. With the Eastern Fathers before the sixth century, the favored expression was meta-ousiosis, “change of being”; the Latin tradition coined the word transubstantiatio, “change of substance,” which was incorporated into the creed of the Fourth Lateran Council in 1215. The Council of Trent, in defining the “wonderful and singular conversion of the whole substance of the wine into the blood” of Christ, added “which conversion the Catholic Church calls transubstantiation” (Denzinger 1652). after transubstantiation, the accidents of bread and wine do not inhere in any subject or substance whatever. Yet they are not make-believe they are sustained in existence by divine power. (Etym. Latin trans-, so as to change + substantia, substance: transubstantio, change of substance.)

” Orthodox Christianity (not Eastern Orthodox) holds to the “Hypostatic Union” of Christ. This means that we believe that Christ is fully God and fully man. This was most acutely defined at the Council of Chalcedon in 451.”

Just who do you think ran that council and arrived at its dogamtic conclusion, the reformers of the 16th century?

“Christ’s body cannot be at more than one place at a time, much less at millions of places across the world every Sunday during Mass. In this sense, I believe that any real physical presence view denies the definition of Chalcedon and the principles therein.”

Nonsense. What silly protestant comic book theology. Your god is a very limited god, but then again, the weed of heresy always, always, always bears bitter fruit!

One problem is that they don’t know what ousia and substance mean.

Is Jesus a third part of the Trinity of One God?

Can God see all of Time like a panorama?

Can God go to any moment of time using His body, The Christ?

Would God need to be in several places with His Jesus body, if He can go to any moment in time?

Where does the Bible say Jesus is, since His ascension?

How did Jesus appear to Saul on the Road to Damascus? When will Jesus being coming back to set foot on the earth, again, the second time?

Who will Jesus be bringing with Him in this Second Coming?

My wife used to be Catholic. Her sister still goes to mass pretty much every day. Her family is amazingly devout Catholic, yet her 86 year old father is afraid he is not saved because of how he treated his parents as a teenager. My wife is trying to minister to him, but since we’re not Catholic, it’s difficult.

Glibness, taunting, and always a hint of blasphemy flow most easily from an RC's keyboard.

Lower case, eh?

I think scrupulosity and doubt plague a lot of people across many denominational lines. There’s nothing in Catholic dogma to justify such doubt.

as, it seems, do sophistry and falsehood from the keyboards of some Protestants.

Kolokotronis is not a Catholic.

The passage where Paul speaks of “Christ our Passover Lamb” isn’t in your Bible?

Catholics can not even understand that scripture. .
