enter IOne might query why in a scriptural expose of the doctrines of the Catholic Church. I would decide this affect The Roman Interpretation of the ennoble's Supper (more commonly known as "Communion") for the first of the "Catholic Chronicles". Most Protestants (today. Protestants are considered to be members of any church or church-group outside the Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox churches) would expect me to deal with what they might consider the more obvious departures from biblical foundation such as the adore of and prayers to the Virgin Mary the infallibility of the pope purgatory and prayers for the dead the history of the torture and burning of accused "heretics" and such like that- and no doubt in future installments we shall be in-depth at each of these. But for this first article I believe that we should get right to the grow before we mouth exploring the branches of Roman Doctrine and practice. And any Catholic who has even a small knowledge of his church knows that the central cerebrate of each gathering (known as the "mass") is the Holy Eucharist."THE EUCHARIST"The evince "Eucharist" is a Greek word that means "thanksgiving". In the gospel accounts of the measure Supper. Jesus is described as "giving thanks" before breaking the bread (Luke 22:19) and so this word became a proper name for the Lord's Supper in the early Catholic Church. Today it is more commonly associated with the elements in communion especially the host or "wafer" although the ceremony itself is comfort called "The Holy Eucharist". Now you might be wondering why I'm taking so much time and effort to explain something as harmless as the ceremony known around the world as communion. If you've ever been to perform at all. (Protestant or Catholic) you've probably taken part in a communion function. So why make all this worry about bread and wine? Why? Because that's where the similarity between evangelical communion services and the Roman Catholic Mass ends- at the bread and the wine!"TRANSUBSTANTIATION"That 18-letter word above is a complete theological statement and the name of a doctrine out of which springs the most astounding set of beliefs and practices that has ever been taught in the label of religion. Very very few people know what the Catholic Church actually believes and teaches concerning this subject and I am convinced that change surface fewer Catholics realize themselves what they are taking move in. From earliest childhood. "This is the body of Christ" is all they've ever heard.[ADVERTHERE]Related article:
