In a way, Catholics consider themselves cannibals. Through Transubstantiation, the host becomes Jesus Himself, in the form of bread.
Early Christians were accused of being barbarians for this. |

not unless people are made of bread and have wine running through their veins. Though I do know some people who look and act like that. |

no. I personnally belive that the bread and cup are purly symbolic. Even if transubstantiation is true they are still eating bread and wine. It doesn't become blood and flesh until after you eat it. |

I don't belive in any substantiation. The bread and cup are puerly symbolic and nothing is symbloic about it. At my church camp we use wonder bread for communion. The loaf of wonder bread we use is no different than the loaf of wonder bread I have in my kitchen or that anyone else has. It is the fact that we gathar as a group to do the sacrament than the actual sacrment itself. Jesus said do this in remembrance of me. That is all communion is remambrance. |

One time I was talking to my husband about this...we were saying that on the package of communion wafers, they'd have to put the "before" and "after" the blessing nutrition facts...hehehe. It was pretty funny. |

The "Breaking Of Bread" is purely symbolic. It's a little crazy to associate this with cannibalism. Or maybe you were just trying to be funny. Ha ha. |

I always found that hilariously funny and exciting when I was little in church camp and we would eat and drink the body and blood of christ. It was just grape juice and home-made bread, but I was little and impressionable and we all thought it was fun that we were all sitting around pretending to eat Jesus Christ. |

If you're Catholic, then Catholics believe in transubstantiation. That is, the the wafer and wine physically transform into the body and blood of Christ. There was a comedy sketch one time, when someone decided to build his own Christ as a hobby. He went around different churches and took communion, kept it in his mouth, and took it home, to put all the bits together to make one Jesus. In the end he did it so well he managed to collect three and a half complete Jesuses. |
