    Jesus says "For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink" Not symbolic food and symbolic drink! St Ignatius was the disciple and close personal friend of John the Apostle. The Eucharist is only valid under the Apostolic Bishop. St. Ignatius of Antioch, Letter to the Smyrnaeans...

    Apologetics

    An apologist is someone who says "I`m sorry you`re wrong!" :D Seriously the word apologetics comes from the Greek word "apologia" which means "to defend", so a Catholic apologist is infact a Catholic Church defender.
