: Hey.. OK, well I'm Catholic.. and for those who arent, most Catholics believe in a doctrine called "transubstantiation." What this states is that we believe that the blessed bread and wine actually becomes the body and blood of Christ. This is definitely the BIGGEST leap of faith that the Catholic church asks us to make. I personally struggle with it. I'd love to be convinced, because I want to believe it... but it's really just faith, and there's nothing that can be said really to be convinced. right now i just believe that it represents the body and blood of Christ
: you're probably wondering "when is this Roman-Catholic dork gonna get to the on-topic part?" well here it is.
: I was wondering if anyone knew if Kevin believes in this doctrine.. Because it is something that takes a LOT of faith, and that's something i know kevin has.
: also, in reference to the HOSTIES animatics(sp?), it is believed by Catholics that the bread and wine are NOT the Body and Blood of Christ until the priests blesses them during Mass. So if HOSTIES was a cereal involving the UN-BLESSED wafers, then te Catholic league should have no reason to be offended.
: also, guys... fellow Catholics and otherwise... I wanna know.. what do believe in reference to this doctrine?
