Q&A: On communion — Mike agrees it is more than a symbol but rejects transubstantiation

Ben Shapiro, a Catholic Bishop and the Gospel. 00:49:15 – 00:50:15

Answering viewer question about 1 Corinthians and dying from receiving communion wrongly

Mike agrees communion is more than a symbol but rejects the Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation — the teaching that the bread and wine literally become the physical flesh and blood of Christ. He explains the philosophical background: Aristotelian categories of 'accidents' (appearance) and 'substance' (underlying reality). Under transubstantiation, the accidents remain (bread/wine appearance) while the substance changes to flesh and blood. Mike also notes the Catholic teaching that the Eucharist re-sacrifices Christ. He references his 'Catholicism Refuted Biblically' video playlist.

@MaineMinistry @MikeWingerii I have concerns with their mass and what seems to me to be treating the wafer in what they call Eucharist as Jesus Himself putting it in its own house and bowing to it—yet

κεφαλή (kephale) — Logos Clippings (Cheryl Schatz)
