For Episodes 2-10 we'll be diving into the 9 key differences between Catholicism and Protestantism in a series called Catholic or Protestant: What's the Difference?
In today's episode we'll be talking about how Jesus Christ is really present - body, blood, soul, and divinity - in the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist. I'll explain the term 'transubstantiation,' as well as the principles of accident vs. substance. We'll explore what we really mean when we say "you are what you eat," as well as what Eucharistic Adoration actually is. Lastly, we'll talk a bit about why there is a one hour fast before communion, and what we're really asking God for in one part of The Lord's Prayer.
Bible Passages Quoted:
-John 6:29-69
-Galatians 2:20
