Just again- Jesus isn't physicall present in the Eucharist..He is truly present, but He is not physically present.

Who says Jesus is not physically present?

please cite for that.

The bread has changed into the Body Blood Soul and divinity of Christ, only the accidents of bread and wine remai.

It is more complex than mere physicality in JEsus' presence in the EUcharist. He is truly presetn- but exists hypostatically (can Divinity be physical?) and also Crucified, Resurrected, Ascended-- outside of time. Saying that Jesus is physically present is imprecise...He is really and truly present--but He is sacramentally present.

In Mysterium Fidei, Pope Paul VI says, "To avoid any misunderstanding of this type of presence, which goes beyond the laws of nature and constitutes the greatest miracle of its kind, we have to listen with docility to the voice of the teaching and praying Church. . . . [After the consecration] nothing remains of the bread and the wine except for the species—beneath which Christ is present whole and entire in his physical ‘reality,’ corporeally present, although not in the manner in which bodies are in a place" (MF 46).

You will never find any official document of the Church refer to Jesus being physically present- Truly, really, and substantially presnt, yes...

I think this bit from this article in Envoy magazine words it nicely:

The way in which Jesus is present in the Eucharist cannot be explained in physical terms because it transcends the ordinary necessities of space and measurement. It is a supernatural mystery that the person who becomes fully present at Mass is the same Risen Savior who is seated at the right hand of the Father. In becoming present sacramentally, Christ's condition does not change. He does not have to leave heaven to become present on earth

Ok, once a day, twice a day, is getting me confused. What is the offical statement (Sorry if I missed any post in regards to it. I just skimmed trhough this thread )

Twice is perfectly fine as long as both are at mass (e.g. no communion services or other forms of reception). Twice. This is the official current teaching. Yes, it has changed and evolved over time (e.g. it is not dogma, but IS curren teaching).
