Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

To be fair, we don't really have statues, that's a Latin thing, but the rest is accurate...I mean accurate in that, that is what we hear..not accurate as in..true. See here I was trying to start a discussion about an important topic and everyone is being silly...I guess I started it off wrong by being silly and civil, I should have yelled and called people schismatic heretics and such.

Exactly, because it's the Catholic pope-worshippers who are going to hell.

[Now watch this-- in the next line I am going to make sure that the reader doesn't find me mean as much as patronizing:]

This is the one thing I can give to Marin Luther, he vehemently defended the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Another legend goes he was debating theology with another major figure of the time (name of the other escapes me) and they were both enjoying some pints of Beer. His opponent said the Eucharist was merely a symbol. Luther got angry and began banging his stein against the table shouting "Hoc est ENIM corpus meum!" This is of course Latin for, "This is my Body", the emphasis on Enim (is), was Luthers.

I wasn't saying that nor was I being patronizing, but hey, thanks for looking for things that aren't there. Love being attacked by my own people during Lent, makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.

After re-reading my passage a couple times I can see how you got what you did from what I wrote.

Let me assure you that criticizing YOU or any of your points was the furthest thing from my mind. I was just carrying on the torch of making fun of silly unsubstantiated quips pulled out against other "denominations" à la GH.

Seriously, although no offense was intended at all toward you, my sincerest apologies for not having been more aware of how my words could be perceived in the way I posted.

I'm not editing it only because 1) it's already been quoted and 2) my original intent is clarified only a few posts after.

God bless!
