SABC Eucharist error contravenes broadcasting code

from Wikipedia:
According to the Catholic Church, when the bread and wine are consecrated by the priest at Mass, they cease to be bread and wine, and become instead the Most Precious Body and Blood of Christ. The empirical appearances and attributes are not changed, but the underlying reality is. The consecration of the bread (known afterwards as the Host) and wine represents the separation of Jesus' body from his blood at Calvary; thus, this separation also represents the death of Christ. However, since according to Catholic dogma Christ has risen, the Church teaches that his body and blood are no longer truly separated, even if the appearances of the bread and the wine are. Where one is, the other must be. This is called the doctrine of concommitance. Therefore, although the priest (or minister) says, "The body of Christ", when administering the host, and, "The blood of Christ", when presenting the chalice, the communicant who receives either one receives Christ, whole and entire— "Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity".
Transubstantiation (from Latin transsubstantiatio) is the change of the substance of bread and wine into that of the body and blood of Christ, the change that, according to the belief of the Catholic Church, occurs in the Eucharist. It concerns what is changed (the substance of the bread and wine), not how the change is brought about.

No Catholics think that. Except perhaps some crazy bat**** priest or something. Every Catholic knows it is just symbolic.

Then I am not sure what you are doing in the philosophical debate section of this website commenting on a PD thread. Are you confused or just lost? :confused:

No, some crazy fanatical priests and perhaps those living in the delusion in the Vatican might believe that, but 99% of your Catholics know it is symbolic. Most of Catholicism is symbolic and metaphorical. If you had to go to a Catholic and ask, "do you really think you are eating flesh and drinking wine?" They`ll probably ignore you as a troll. Crazy Christian groups like protestants are the more literal interpretors of the Bible and rites around it.

IE, Protestants think the world was created in 7 days cause the Bible says so. Catholics believe that that is a metaphorical description of creation. And so on.

Transubstantiation is part of the official doctrine of Catholicism. In my experience most of the people calling themselves Catholics in this day and age do so simply because it is a family tradition and not because they actually hold to the official doctrines of the church.

Most of the 'Catholics' I have known over the years have had sex before marriage, routinely use birth control, take the Eucharist while in a state of sin and don't believe in transubstantiation. IMO they are not Catholics. If you don't follow the official doctrines of Catholicism then I don't see how you can actually be considered a Catholic.

No trolling here, if you call yourself a Catholic you are required to believe that it is really body and blood I'm afraid. My catechism was very thorough :P
 
catholics are confused. nowhere in the bible does it say it turned into real blood and meat.

This is something which is satired by the "Landover Baptist Church". They "follow" the Christian Bible, 1611 King James Version specifically, to the letter and for all piratical reasons are ridiculed for it. Yet they challenge anyone to come with Biblical proof that what they advocate is in contravention of the teachings of the Bible, which is proving quite challenging thus far for those arguing against them.
