prmerger: I do, however, believe strongly in the words of paul, James, and Peter! Still trying to decide who was the stronger apostle(although some argue that Paul was not an apostle like the other 12. And thank you for acknowledging that I have faith!
elvisman:And you react like a typical catholic, always leaning on apostolic succession! But that is what makes us special, is that we are different! You confess to a priest, I confess to God; you call your wafer a host, I call my bread the Body of Christ. You gotta love us, pesky non catholics that we are!
and…? You don’t believe the early Christians, the ones who knew the apostles? THEY believed in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.
If the early Christians were to be time-warped to modern day times and attend a Catholic liturgy, they would know exactly what was going on, exactly what the prayers and rituals were, exactly what the Liturgy of the Eucharist means. How awesome is that!!
