If they understood the difference between fact and fiction they wouldn’t be a catholic. They’re supposed to believe that crackers and wine literally turn into Jesus’s body and blood by saying an incantation. Alchemy makes more sense than that, so I could see some people having issues.
No, Catholicism dogma says it literally changes into it through transubstantiation. That’s what the church teaches. You can not believe that part if you like, like I do, I just go slightly further and not have belief in any of it.
In a thread about making fun of the beliefs of a catholic, it’s wrong to make fun of the beliefs of catholics? What is the difference between making fun of the silly belief that this person can’t use a tool named after alchemy and making fun of their belief in their own form of spellcraft? If you weren’t in a thread literally making fun of the beliefs of a religious person, you might have some ground to stand on. As it is though, why are you in this thread at all if you are bothered by it?
They take on the spiritual qualities of such things, on the outward they still remain wine and bread, even says that in the very article you posted. And again, Wikipedia is not a credible source, did you not take High school?

But still… there was a guy 2000 years ago that said “There is God”
And whole religion is based on a question “do I believe the guy that lived 2000 years ago”
And I said yes and I don’t care what your answer is.
Just don’t be a douchebag.
No, it symbolically turns into the flesh and blood of Christ.
God this kind of edge Lord bad theology bullshit is one of the reasons why I’m glad I’m not allowed to read it anymore. Do I have to see it here too?
