During a catholic mass, there is a ritual where all attendees take a sip of wine and eat a small, tasteless wafer, the wine is symbolic of the blood of Christ and the wafer is his flesh. The wafer is kinda cardboardy. Nothing weird here lol

The wine and wafer are not symbols. They are the blood and body of Christ. It is the miracle of transubstantiation.

Well, no. Nobody's actually eating anyone. It's just a tiny little cracker.

By Catholic doctrine, it is not symbolism. The Eucharist offering literally becomes his body and blood through Transubstantiation.

So yes, cannibalism in their eyes.

By catholic doctrine? Well, by my doctrine, it's utter bollocks. You're saying that wafers magically turn into holy human meat once eaten. Yeah, nah.

Sorry not just doctrine, it is catholic dogma. Established as doctrine by the Fourth Council of the Lateran in 1215, and in 1551 the Council of Trent declared it dogma. It is essential to the faith, but you don't have to be a catholic.

I'm not sure why you're telling me any of this? I'm not in the slightest bit interested.

I'm just explaining that, to catholics, yes it is cannibalism.

Depends on the church.

I became a wine lover based on mass wine served at mass in school.

Hindus dont worship cows as a god though whereas in transubstantiation we are to believe that wine and cardboard is literally jesus

I think 'Our savior tastes like cardboard' would be better

Just because it tastes like cardboard doesnt make it any less cannibalism

It's grape juice not wine anymore.

No it is wine. It may be new wine or watered wine but separating the alcohol from the grape squeezings is heresy to the catholics.
