Semper Fi:
You say that in order to take part in the eucharist you must have a proper understanding of what it is. The Apostles must not have understood it using your analogy. Catholics tell me that John 6 gives a clear understanding of the real presence in the eucharist.
The last supper that Christ had with the Apostles occured after that which is told of in John chapter 6, correct?. If the Apostles, as you say,’’ Understood the real presence" they would have stopped Jesus when he “Broke bread” and said, How can this be your body, it is just bread and how can this be your blood when it is just wine?. The reason that they didn’t is because they understood that the emblems represented his body and blood that was given for them.
Thanks.
HiHello,
Jesus Christ Himself only let his 12 closest Apostles take part in the Eucharist with Him. Are you calling Christ arrogant for this? In order to receive the Eucharist, you must first have a proper understanding of what it is and not be in schism with the Church that Christ established. As for your problem with CCC 841, see: catholic.com/thisrock/2003/0301fea4.asp
By the way, it never states that Muslims are “saved,” all it states is that all who worship the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob are part of the plan of salvation. No where is your assertion correct and misquoting the Catechism will not help you win your argument.
God bless,
