Defenders: Doctrine of the Church (Part 9): Transubstantiation

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) William discusses Anglicanism, its founding, departure from the Catholic Church, and abandonment of Church Teachings, rejecting Holy Mass as the True Sacrifice, denying Transubstantiation, eliminating Holy Devotions and Religious Images, and altered the sacrament of Holy Orders so that any man “ordained” is not a valid sacramental priest, and without a sacramental priesthood, absolution is invalid

Dr. David Anders dives into a question about the Catholic Church and whether or not the rules are "made up". Does God have emotions...and how would that explain a wrath? Need help understanding transubstantiation?...explained on today's show!

What is Transubstantiation? Why is it integral to the Catholic faith?

Fr. John Ehrich, STL Frjohnteaches.com Fr. John's Music

Send us Fan MailWe continue our discussion of the Roman Catholic Church's various doctrines that are not found in the New Testament. We begin by discussing Extreme Unction which is anointing a person who is about to die. We next discuss the use of instrumental music which was added in 666AD. We note 15 Catholic doctrines and when they were established. We close out this study by noting that the Catholic Church began after the first century as a result of the apostacy the apostles said would occur, and its organizational structure is foreign to the New Testament pattern. Consequently, it cannot be the Church Jesus built. We move on to the next denomination on our list, which is the Lutheran church. We note when it dates from and why this can be said. We talk about why what Martin Luther did is so important to understand. As a result of his studies, he came to the conclusion that the Catholic Church had many errors in what it did. Consequently, he nailed 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg, Germany in 1517. We close out this episode by mentioning his greatest objections to what the Catholic Church was doing. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) William discusses major aspects of the reality that is the Holy Eucharist: Truly the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ and Scriptures which point to that reality

At the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist is the epiclesis, when the priest begs the Holy Spirit to come and transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. The Catechism explains this mysterious reality, and Fr. Mike reiterates that the Mass is not a repetition of Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice, but a re-presentation and celebration of his eternal sacrifice on the Cross. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1104-1112. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.

Brian reviews the book Transubstantiation by Dr. Brett Salkeld

Did Vatican II introduce harmful changes to the Catholic Church, and does Catholic theology go too far in defining mysteries like the Eucharist? In this episode of Catholic Answers Live, Catholic Answers apologists respond to major Orthodox objections to Catholicism, covering theology, Church history, and doctrine. The discussion examines Catholic teaching on remarriage and original sin, the necessity of the Immaculate Conception, and the Christological differences between the Catholic Church and the Oriental Orthodox Churches. Additional topics include whether transubstantiation “overdefines” the Eucharist, why Orthodox and Catholic biblical canons differ, and whether Catholic theology lacks the Orthodox essence–energies distinction. A thoughtful and charitable look at some of the deepest divisions between East and West. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Objections Covered: 02:12 – Vatican II introduced harmful theological and liturgical changes.  05:51 – Catholic teaching on remarriage is too rigid.  13:36 – Catholic original sin wrongly teaches inherited guilt.  17:14 – The Immaculate Conception is unnecessary and unfounded.  28:52 – What does one say about the Christological differences between the Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Catholic. They claim they hold to the early definitions of Ephesus that we have abandoned.  36:14 – Transubstantiation overdefines the Eucharistic mystery.  39:57 – Why do Orthodox Churches differ with us on the canon of Scriptura?  47:57 – Catholicism lacks the essence–energies distinction.

Join me Saturday 4/25 for the Rosicrucian Astrology LIMINALSTREAM where I investigate the order's 1922 manual and compare current and natal transits:  https://www.youtube.com/live/zP5cCmYc5Dg?si=dXuoCz2kkRd2B78Q EDIT: AUDIO has been updated with a better mix--the intro monologue was recorded in a hushed rush during a late night somnambulant AirBnB stay, so better mixing was required! ∴∴∴∴ Transubstantiation of The Sacred Antenna & Traveling Temple This Aries stellium (re)birthed the long-divergent livestream faction of WE THE HALLOWED's broadckast & mutlimedia grimoire, PRAGMAGICK, long-dubbed and too-long-dormant: the LIMINALSTREAM. To be honest, I'm in sort of a crucible. My constant fight for time, energy, captial and time-energy capital to maintain the consistent output of projects such as We The Hallowed, Pragmagick, new albums and performances, micro-publishing Somatick Magicks for Patrons--all of it has had to be under dire review due to my stasis of having to work away from home just to maintain a home I'm rarely in. It's dire, drab, disheartening and all around heavy that the fight for supreme artistry in the face of a megalithic capitalist undertow seems both ever so necessary yet ever so unnoticed. The cost of running this site, let alone all the channels of which to create our arts without much qualms, if any really, or monetary issuance has proven to be an insurmountable affair as is. But I refuse to buckle or bribe or barter with the great machine, and have taken the heavy toll and burden to internalize why financial independence isn't afforded from these ventures alone. That probably isn't healthy either, yet I persist. After wilderness years spent toiling and tinkering with ways to charge the current, it has become all-too apparent that the livestream's capabilities of creating wholly intentional transmissions and 'third spaces' of performance, sermon and vexation without appeasing rent-mad venues, other people's intentions or allowance of artificial intelligence slop could nominally be achieved through the art magick adherence to the liminalstream transmission. And what better to initiate a new experimental era of a wide-spectrum of dipsatches than under this excitingly rare fire stellium currently transiting? Due to my increasingly laborious schedule largely spent away from the Dimming Room, it became all too apparent that my way through with keeping consistent tithes to ongoing projects, lifting connected artists and We The Hallowed haunts, and growing the burgeoning patreon base to hopefully one day not need to suffer so much survival in this monolithic capitalist nightmare structure, allow the liminalstream a wonderful spectrum of highly intentional, heavily produced to topic based, low-tech dispatches from the sacred antenna of the PRAGMAGICK broadckast current. Last week, I attempted a DIMMING ROOM dispatch that revealed a longtime telepathetic annoyance of an unwitting poltergheiszt, then streamed from the phone as I picked up the pieces and worked through this newfound revelation: https://www.youtube.com/live/xS6oqrlU6Gs?si=kao6bJ6LGBrtUhJ0 https://youtube.com/live/xS6oqrlU6Gs?feature=share Here, the attempted live ritual using a spiritbox and the in-room projections audio triggered of custom footage was finally due to to be shared with the world. The thesis and experimentation behind the scenes has long toiled with ways to imbue the communion with multi-sensory transmissions. This nominal release of the ritual where the objective was to contact LITTLE WIND (or more formally Z the Redreamer) concerning the intentions of this new era and current cosmick transits would not happen, however. For no discernable reason I was run ragged with technical issues throughout the premiere that I still have no calcuable way to avoid in the future, nor way to discern much of why two separate computers used for streaming fell due to never-before-seen internal errors, let alone the spiritbox actually breaking right after I had recovered the stream and was ready to push on! Alas, so many lessons learned that stream, one of which is that trying a huge array of objectives within one stream is not only suboptimal tech wise, but performance and demeanor-wise as acting host, producer and performer is far too hectic oversee whilst allowing the artistic heteronym to control this vehicle performing musick, initiate meditative videomancy sessions and tap into the gibber-gabber needed to monologue to an audience concerning all the intentions therein! Not only were there obscure and completely unfounded tech issues on the digital plane, but in the physical my spirit box literally broke right before the ritual tells me that I was radiating an unseen reckless energy like statick discharge from ungrounded finger tips. You see, this is a long-storied issue with my performances, and another reason I'm attempting to get the sea legs of confident performance through these liminalstreams; I know I'm radiating, emanating, manifesting a nervous energy that is poisonous to electrical currents. Intuitively, I know it's me. If only I had performed the intended current cleanse at the top of the show and rested my gheiszt a bit before spelunking into a deluge of wild sessions within one stream! So through wincing and frustrated tears I soldiered on and concluded with a makeshift altar/Dimming Room Current Cleanse to ward off whatever bad ghost juju projected from my unwitting self (or, for safety sake, some banishing of outside dark dudes too) with a musical saw bowed through effects and guitar pedals. Improvised magick is potent magick! https://youtu.be/2FQEUi8heVc?si=nTxikN2_zL6Q4M30 https://youtu.be/2FQEUi8heVc But all and all, as an induction ceremony to a new era of output, the liminalstream did it's job. The revelation of the nega-statik gheiszt that my intensity and anxiety unwittingly releases that has long caused obscure tech issues for my performances, alone, is worth the price of admittance. This very ex/o/rcise of the weekly liminalstream dispatches can help correct such energy diversions; and since, they've only gotten better if not more focused. It's this sort of deep, revelatory moment that makes the liminalstream so worthwhile to me as practitioner, aside from the usual experimental fare and art hexorcism the transmissions can dutifully provide. The next day, calm and collected and willing to show the lowtech side of the liminalstream spectrum, I went live as I repaired the spiritbox and discussed these revelations: https://www.youtube.com/live/eiGFmZKa-JA?si=Whq468SJtz9-GbEI https://youtube.com/live/eiGFmZKa-JA?feature=share This also introduced a rubric and schema to bookend the LIMINALSTREAM so that no-matter where it is dispatched, or the amount of production and featured topic, a sinew can bind and ordain the transmissions within the Liminalstream current: Each stream is construkted either behind the scenes prior, or during the stream itself, with the Divergent Magick Grimoire - this helps the anarchic contents find footing within a ritual schema and operating procedure whilst also keeping the expected torrential innards a little more approachable. It also bestows the title of each Rite as the title of each LIMINALSTREAM. Perhaps I can also utilize the Divergent Magick Online Rite Builder when the hard or paperback copy is not on hand, thus allowing viewers to peer into the process. In turn, each liminalstream that doesn't so much have a presupposed theme or even thumbnail artwork will utilize the DISRUPTION GENERATOR to reveal a divinatory theme and its respective image (Such as the title/artwork for the stream above has). This allows for two thirds of We The Hallowed's scripture troikatych (or threefold equation) to be continually charged and investigated while the newly formulated 'Tethers', or We The Hallowed connective ethos, is formulated for publishing. The finalizing of the 'TETHERS', in turn, will be a reoccuring and intermittent topic for future LIMINALSTREAMS as I have clued Patrons in on the formulation of this anarchic multimedia magickal collective's synthesis exalted within construction of The Tethers. PROSPEKTRE CURRENT COMMUNION: A SPIRITBOX/VIDEOMANCY RITUAL Session truly begins around 7 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/live/dJlciIS6ywE?si=j39K1uYgM3Jf9WjC Around dawn, pacific time, I performed a “liminalstream” (public art magick ritual via Pragmagick youtube channel) showcasing a grounding-yet-road-opening initiatory Hauntomancy Ritual for this cosmick stellium that happens to be shuffling in my eighth house (if the natal chart birth time I've reverse-engineered is correct, of course.) I'm utilizing similar schema from my PROSPECTRE (sic) RITUAL by incorporating rubric from Listening Post Alpha (the solo “Estes Method” akin Spirit Box communion and the paramount and illucidating ALW Cipher Decoding post-session) yet not with audiomancy as I had previously interjected, but with hypnagogic inducing projections (think technicolor Dream Machine ala Gysin & Burroughs) of deeply intentional imagery (analog photography from dear friend and collaborator that adorned the ALGOL series of original musick I've recently released—who's New Mexican property holds a unique opportunity in our future) casted as in-room videomancy all captured by a VHS camcorder & analog dirty video mixer triggered by the Spiritbox transmissions. Stay tuned for decoding a deeper insight on what, or whom, came through. The ritual is not complete until the LISTENING POST ALPHA rubric of decoding using the ALW Cipher is drafted as a report. This may be a Patreon stream, specifically, while utilizing the public Liminalstream current to continue my weekly dispatches across a wide spektrum of production, focus and theme. Conversing with the spirit box for this new era using transmission triggered and live analog mixed/painted videomancy of custom footage and Logan Ford's analog photography (that accompanied Revelator Rosz's  ALGOL I) to create a hypnagogic rhythmic technicolor atmosphere projected in room for immersive communion (somewhat partially akin to the Brion Gysin & William S. Burroughs Dream Machine experiments) Hauntomancy / Videomancy Aspekts: This communion was initiated with the ultraterrestrial known as Z the REDREAMER (or more colloquially, Little Wind) who was introduced through Listening Post Alpha sessions. The being's identity is purely speculation, but has often hinted that they may be the supraself or temporally displaced self-spektre of Revelator Rosz. https://keatsross.substack.com/p/haunt-of-the-aspectre-haunt-manual Videomancy exalted Dimming Room truly 'DIMS THE TZIM-TZUM': https://wethehallowed.org/audiomancy-videocast/https://keatsross.substack.com/p/salvo-siempre-salvo-haunt-manual : Using custom footage casted and mixed with dead tech necromancy as time engines (60's B&W Cathode Tube Amp Camera, VHS Camcorder as main camera, 90's panasonic analog video mixer and other thought obsolete talismanik devices with unfinished business finally realized with new applications.

This week, at least for Patrons if not publicly as well, I plan on streaming from a work trip as this rhythm is my new normal. And this new normal is hectic, lonely, uncomfortable and all-too insurmountable if not married with artistic and psycho-spiritual insight. So let the Liminalstream be the anchor to an otherwise rough scape forward. As I finalize the official summation and primer of Hauntomancy with the Spektrivium, codify We The Hallowed's metaphysical tenets and machinations with the updated Tethers, publish and create Somatick media releases in physical formats, and continue the musickal hexorcisms as Revelator Rosz and Dakota Slim, there could be no better, egalitarian and approachable transmission than that of the art magick livestream, or liminalstream.  This month will see the release of the ALGOL hexkassette, a 90 minute collection of the Algol musickal series collected, with rarieties, thus far, for PATRONS and Somatick subscribers.

The correct translation of John 3,16? Can the word 'Racca' start a blood feud? Transubstantiation vs. Consubstantiation? Join Fr. Mitch Pacwa on today's Open Line Wednesday.

“Who Thought the Eucharist Was Just Symbolic? ” This episode delves into the early Church’s beliefs about the Eucharist, exploring questions like the origins of the symbolic view and whether early Church Fathers spoke symbolically. We also tackle the significance of “breaking bread” in the early Church and the implications of transubstantiation. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 03:30 – Where did the symbolic view of the Eucharist come from? 05:13 – Didn't some early Church Fathers speak symbolically about the Eucharist? Doesn't that challenge the idea of unanimous early belief? 07:30 – Didn't the disciples fail to object during the Last Supper because they understood Jesus metaphorically? 09:00 – If “breaking bread” was common in the early Church, doesn't that just suggest a fellowship meal, not a literal body and blood? 15:25 – The Eucharist doesn’t seem to do anything to believers? 20:30 – How Do I Properly Receive the Eucharist? 21:50 – How does transubstantiation actually work—and why does it rely on medieval Aristotelian philosophy rather than Scripture? 29:05 – How do we know that the early Church actually believed in transubstantiation and not just a spiritual or symbolic presence? Why does the Catholic View win out? 35:22 – The priesthood is against going directly to God. We don't need Earthly priests. 42:20 – Does the Eucharist cause more division than Unity? 48:08 – Is the Eucharist just an adaptation of pagan rituals?

There are moments in our faith journey when everything changes — when the veil lifts, when truth becomes personal, when God reveals Himself in a way that leaves no doubt: this is real.For me, that moment happened in front of the Holy Eucharist. The Eucharist has been the X-factor in my life and my walk with Christ — not an idea, not a symbol, but the living presence of Jesus: Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity.Trusting without seeing. Believing without fully understanding. Taking Jesus at His word in John chapter 6, when He promises that His flesh is true food and His blood is true drink. That trust — that surrender — has opened a floodgate of grace in my life that I cannot fully explain, but I can testify to.In Holy Communion, Jesus has given me peace in storms that should have broken me.Hope when situations looked hopeless.Strength beyond my capacity.And a burning fire in my soul to live differently — because He lives in me.Daily Mass has changed everything. Time before the Blessed Sacrament— Jesus in the Eucharist as the center of my faith is where I find him because he is the center of my life. Today, we continue through the second half of John 6, and I share why the Eucharist isn't just a belief for me — it is my lifeline, my anchor, and the love that sustains me.If you've ever struggled to trust without seeing… If you've wondered how to encounter God in a deeper way…If you're longing for a faith that fills you, fuels you, and transforms you…This episode is for you. Let's step into the mystery — and discover the miracle that is Jesus in the Eucharist.#JesusInTheEucharist #FaithJourney #John6 #HolyCommunion #CatholicFaith #EucharisticRevival #DailyMass #TrustWithoutSeeing #JesusIsLord #BreadOfLife #GodIsReal #HolySpirit #ef3life #lifetothefullest #hope #catholic #sacrament #xfactor #grace #peace #consecration #Transubstantiation #love #god #jesus #believe

Do Roman Catholics believe the Lord's Supper is a re-sacrifice of Christ and/or representation of Christ's death on the cross? Is the bread and wine/juice of communion literally transformed into the body and blood of Jesus?

Do Anglicans believe in transubstantiation? This edition of Ask the Church explores why Article 28 of the Anglican Articles of Religion rejects the Roman Catholic doctrine of transubstantiation, while still affirming that Christ truly offers His Body and Blood in the Eucharist. Drawing on the Anglican idea of “efficacious signs,” we see how the Sacrament both signifies and accomplishes what it promises (Christ's "Real Presence" in the Eucharist). Rather than speculating about how the mystery works, Anglicans emphasize the gift itself: Jesus offering Himself to us in the Eucharist.

In this compelling episode of "Father and Joe," hosts Father Boniface and Joe Rockey delve into the profound concept of what it truly means to make an offering to God during Mass. Often perceived as just the physical gifts like bread and wine, this episode uncovers the depth of offering our entire lives—including our emotions and experiences—as a symbolic gesture transubstantiated into the body and blood of Christ. Joe shares his transformative realization that the offerings are not limited to tangible items but encompass the entirety of our lives, our struggles, and our joys. Father Boniface elaborates on the notion of negativity and how it is an intrinsic part of human life. Drawing from the Psalms and the example of Our Lady's sorrows, he explains how God not only understands these emotions but provides us with the means to express them through sacred scripture. The conversation navigates through the delicate balance of honesty in our relationship with God, examining how these emotions, though perceived as significant in our lives, may not impact God in the same way. Yet, Father Boniface emphasizes that God, being outside of time, provides a pathway for us to offer everything to Him, making our human experience a worthy offering. Ultimately, listeners are invited to embrace the idea that it's not about the perfection of what we offer but the wholehearted surrender of our entire selves to God. The episode concludes with a poignant reminder that the courage to present everything to God—good, bad, and ugly—is central to nurturing a profound and intimate relationship with the divine. Father Boniface encourages a posture of trust, surrender, and honesty, reflecting on our eternal role as God's children, always welcome to bring our whole selves to the altar. This episode inspires listeners to carry this understanding into their lives, fostering a deeper sense of comfort and courage in their spiritual journey.Tags: Spirituality, Faith, Christian Living, Mass, Eucharist, Spiritual Growth, Offering, Transformation, Faith Journey, Emotional Growth, Religious Understanding, Divine Offering, God and Emotions, Relationship with God, Lament in Faith, Childlike Trust, Human Experience, Spiritual Honesty, Spiritual Direction, Religious Life, Scripture and Emotion, Mass offering, Bread and Wine, Transubstantiation, Vulnerability, Trust in God, Spiritual Challenges, Faith in Struggles, God's Presence, Eucharist Understanding, Mass Experience, Sacramental Life, Honest Prayers, Father Boniface Hicks, Joe Rockey, Communal Worship, God and Pain, Spiritual Dialogue, Faith GuidanceHashtags: #Spirituality, #Faith, #ChristianLiving, #Mass, #Eucharist, #SpiritualGrowth, #Offering, #Transformation, #FaithJourney, #EmotionalGrowth, #ReligiousUnderstanding, #DivineOffering, #GodAndEmotions, #RelationshipWithGod, #LamentInFaith, #ChildlikeTrust, #HumanExperience, #SpiritualHonesty, #SpiritualDirection, #ReligiousLife, #ScriptureAndEmotion, #MassOffering, #BreadAndWine, #Transubstantiation, #Vulnerability, #TrustInGod, #SpiritualChallenges, #FaithInStruggles, #GodsPresence, #EucharistUnderstanding, #MassExperience, #SacramentalLife, #HonestPrayers, #FatherBonifaceHicks, #JoeRockey, #CommunalWorship, #GodAndPain, #SpiritualDialogue, #FaithGuidanceThis line is here to correct the site's formatting error.

Eucharist is the source a summit of our Catholic Faith. Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. We who know this are called to spread devotion to the Eucharist in our daily lives. This blogcast explores “Being a Eucharistic Missionary" from the Ad Infinitum blog, written by Patrick Laorden and read by Meghan Abando.I did not have a chance to attend the Eucharistic Congress last month. However, I did have the pleasure of reading the book For the Life of the World: Invited to Eucharistic Mission by Bishop Andrew Cozzens and Tim Glemkowski. The book outlines four essential pillars to being a Eucharistic missionary: Eucharistic encounter, Eucharistic identity, Eucharistic life, and Eucharistic mission. On the feast of St. Teresa of Calcutta, a great example of a Eucharistic missionary, let us seek her intercession to bear a Eucharistic presence in the world!Eucharistic EncounterThe life of a Eucharistic missionary starts with an encounter. We are reminded of what Pope Benedict XVI said in his encyclical Deus Caritas Est (God is Love), “Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction,” (no. 1). Bishop Cozzens notes four essential elements to an encounter with Jesus: realizing that Jesus is God, experiencing one's own unworthiness, discovery that one is intimately loved, and being invited to follow him in a new life. We see these elements unfold in St. Teresa's own life when she encountered Jesus in the poor.Eucharistic IdentityOur identity is essential to our mission. Bishop Cozzens noted that Jesus never had an identity crisis. Before Jesus began his public ministry, he submitted himself to God to be baptized. Bishop Cozzens highlights three essential principles to Eucharisic identity: relationship, identity, and mission. He writes, “This is the basic point: We were created by God to be in relationship, and from our relationship we know who we are — our identity. When we know who we are, then we know how we should act and what we should do — our mission,” (pg. 50). When St. Teresa encountered Jesus in the poor, she experienced a call within a call: to assume a new identity by leaving the Sisters of Loretto and founding the Missionaries of Charity.Eucharistic LifeWe are called to a Eucharistic life, to be in communion with Christ. Bishop Cozzens notes that this communion with Christ is how we mark ourselves as the Church. Fr. Roger Landry in a 2022 article in the National Catholic Register entitled, “The Eucharistic Life of St. Teresa of Calcutta,” noted how St. Teresa compared the Missionaries of Charity's work to the Blessed Mother: ​“Every Holy Communion fills us with Jesus and we must, with our Lady, go in haste to give him to others. For her, it was on her first Holy Communion day that Jesus came into her life and so for all of us, also. He made himself the Bread of Life so that we too, like Mary, become full of Jesus. We too, like her, should be in haste to give him to others. We too, like her, serve others.”We receive Jesus in the Eucharist at Mass, and we are called to give him to others through a life of service. Bishop Cozzens explains that receiving Holy Communion is a covenantal act. “This is why we say ‘Amen,' which is a covenantal act. To receive Holy Communion is to say: ‘I want to live in this covenant with you. I want to live in communion with you, Lord.' This means I must also live in communion with the Church, Christ's Body,” (pg. 62).Eucharistic MissionThe Church, in her essence, is missionary. Bishop Cozzens notes that our mission was not invented or decided by us, rather given to us from Jesus. This mission is ad gentes or “to the nations”. The challenge today is that we no longer live in a Christian world. Pope Francis, in a 2019 address to the Roman Curia, said, “We are no longer living in a Christian world, because faith – especially in Europe, but also in a large part of the West – is no longer an evident presupposition of social life; indeed, faith is often rejected, derided, marginalized and ridiculed.”We, who have experienced an encounter with Christ, whose identity has been revealed through this encounter, and who have been called to share in this Eucharistic life, are to be a beacon of light to those who have fallen away from their faith or have never experienced Christ. St. Teresa once said, “We must know that we have been created for greater things, not just to be a number in the world, not just to go for diplomas and degrees, this work and that work. We have been created in order to love and to be loved.” This is what it means to be a Eucharistic missionary.St. Teresa of Calcutta, pray for us! Author:​Patrick Laorden serves as a Grants Associate for the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving in Hartford, CT. Resources:Listen to On Mission: Eucharistic Revival: Year of MissionRead and learn about Eucharistic RevivalRead the Ad Infinitum blog Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

“Who Thought the Eucharist Was Just Symbolic? ” This episode delves into the early Church’s beliefs about the Eucharist, exploring questions like the origins of the symbolic view and whether early Church Fathers spoke symbolically.

We don't need Earthly priests. 42:20 – Does the Eucharist cause more division than Unity? 48:08 – Is the Eucharist just an adaptation of pagan rituals?

Hosted by Pastor Ed TaylorOriginating from GRACE FM in Aurora, Colorado, Calvary Live is a one hour program that answers questions about issues surrounding life, godliness, and living for Jesus Christ in our current ever changing culture.

Patrick fields questions from callers about the Eucharist, addressing concerns about receiving Communion and clarifying Church teaching with scripture, and history. He answers with candor on marriage, chastity, and what truly makes a marriage valid, weaving in references to St. Paul and Pope John Paul II to respond to real dilemmas. Family dynamics and practical etiquette pop up too, as Patrick responds to everything from who should serve as a godparent to whether sending early baby shower thank-yous is ever too soon. Maria - In the bible, it says we are supposed to eat and drink the body and blood. Do we have to eat and drink at Mass? (00:47) San (email) - You know how if you misbehave aboard an aircraft, you will get banned from flying for life? You and Cyrus need to ban Dan from Las Vegas from calling into the show for life. (10:18) Daniel (email) - You mentioned those who receive communion, receive Jesus fully, whether they receive the body or the blood of Christ. Not that I would, but I assume it would be greatly frowned upon if a communicant “skipped” the body and opted for the blood only. (13:47) Ruben - Can you explain how the Catholic Church deals with the differences in theologies supported by different Popes? (18:16) Tom - Younger members of my family got married in front of justice of the peace. How do I convince my relative that marriage as a sacrament is more important than the celebration? (25:52) Mark - What is happening in the instance of Transubstantiation and when we receive the Eucharist? (34:41) Shannon - I am pregnant and having a baby shower. I got a text from a coworker who chewed me out for writing a thank you note. (43:31)

Catholics, Orthodox and even many Protestants, believe that Jesus' words in John 6 are to be taken literally, hinging salvation on participating in the doctrine of transubstantiation. But careful reading of the entire gospel of John reveals Jesus is speaking figuratively, just like He does in many other places, and that the issue, as always, is faith.TIMESTAMPS:* 00:00 - Introduction* 13:59 - Step 1: Read the Verse* 19:00 - Step 2: Read the Gospel of John* 1:33:46 - Step 3: Pick the Most Rational Explanation* 1:40:23 - The Church Fathers* 2:36:42 - Paul & The Corinthians* 2:54:21 - Transubstantiation is Blasphemy This is a public episode.

Corpus Christi 2025 6/22/25

Summa Theologiae: Third Part, Question 75, Articles 1, 2, 4, & 7

A recent story from NYC documents two slaughtered chickens that were found on an Upper West Side median, following a recent similar case close by on Broadway and West 92nd Street. The NY Post reports that this “has activists worried they were killed in an animal sacrifice ritual.” Headless goats, chickens, and pigeons have also been found in Texas and Florida, respectively Galveston beach, a Tampa cemetery, Cape Coral, the Courtney Campbell Causeway - and other locations too.Most of these cases are tied directly or indirectly to Santería, an Afro-Caribbean religious practice that developed in Cuba during the 19th century. As a mixture of Yoruba religion from West Africa, Spiritism, and even Catholicism - like Voodoo -  it involves animal sacrifices. Contrary to popular belief or personally bias belief, the US SCOTUS ruled in Church of the Lukumi Babalu Aye v. City of Hialeah (1993) that certain animal sacrifices were legal. One opinion on the case reads: “Our review confirms that the laws in question were enacted by officials who did not understand, failed to perceive, or chose to ignore the fact that their official actions violated the Nation's essential commitment to religious freedom.”It's also ironic that Catholicism, a universal religion of people who drink symbolic blood and eat symbolic flesh, is the partial basis of Santería - and Voodoo; both condemned by the largely Christian west. The Corpus Christi and Transubstantiation are based on the concept of sympathetic magic, that life itself is in the blood, and that this force belongs to God as per Deuteronomy and Leviticus. Drinking the blood bestows life, i.e., it is a medicinal remedy, though of a more spiritual variety. That is despite the Bible itself being filled with and overflowing with animal blood, from Genesis to Revelation, and the fact Christians, far more than any other group, are considered the largest consumers of pork alone, not to mention other meats. And unlike HALAL or KOSHER dietary rules, Christians have none for the slaughter of their meals. Around 100,000 cattle are slaughtered daily in the US for the luxury of meat, along with 25 million chickens and 350,000 pigs. The worst part, estimates are that approximately 1/4 of all US meat is wasted annually. What's worse, religious animal sacrifice or gluttonous animal sacrifices that go to waste? Although Christians maintain the blood and flesh rituals, many distance themselves from the idea, while the Jewish custom of Kapparot involves the slaughter of a chicken and public sins. Animal sacrifice for strictly religious purposes and in honest faith - not to mention the symbolic nature of such sacrifices as they relate to the carnal self - are one thing, but the ritualized nature of abortion and body/organ harvesting is another.In South Africa it is common for some children, especially albino ones, to be sold or kidnapped for body parts and organs. Albinos are believed to contain good fortune within their body and blood. As Daily Mail reports: “those who believe in black magic and traditional medicine claim their fair skin and eyes can bring good fortune and cure afflictions.” Be it for religious rituals, health, or profit, Planned parenthood was also doing something similar as per undercover videos and singer like Azealia Banks performed live chicken sacrifices in her closest. In the last 15 years there have been multiple stories about Chinese-made infant flesh pills being smuggled into Korea. All throughout Europe during the 16h-17th centuries, without doubt, “many Europeans, including royalty, priests and scientists, routinely ingested remedies containing human bones, blood and fat as medicine for everything from headaches to epilepsy.” And as with Countess Elizabeth Báthory, who believed the blood of young women would protect her skin, Stanford scientists have found that “old mice given infusions of blood plasma from young mice outperformed old mice who got plasma from old mice.” In the 1960s the rubella shot was manufactured with a virus grown from human fetal cells, taken from an abortion case. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

Many today are coming out of atheism and even other religions and embracing the traditional path of Catholicism or Eastern Orthodoxy. Yet scripture and history warn us clearly that such is the end of all things, and many will be deceived by a counterfeit system of worship in the end posing as the will of God on Earth. Today we will look at several reasons why tradition is not the truth, because it fails the test of scripture.For the written study please go here.TIMESTAMPS:* 00:00 - Introduction* 01:43 - Disclaimer* 02:42 - Not All Traditions are Equal* 05:43 - Two Important Notes* 08:08 - Reason 1: Call No Man On Earth Your Father* 10:07 - Reason 2: Only One Mediator* 11:31 - Reason 3: Transubstantiation* 12:45 - Reason 4: The Second Birth & Baptism* 15:50 - Reason 5: No Salvation Outside the Church* 17:04 - Reason 6: The True Universal Church* 20:21 - Reason 7: The Nature of Salvation* 23:50 - Reason 8: Predestination* 27:52 - Reason 9: The Nature of Apostasy* 31:50 - Reason 10: The Afterlife* 36:43 - Reason 11: Veneration* 38:55 - Reason 12: The Nature of Prayer* 40:49 - Reason 13: Cosmology* 43:24 - Reason 14: The Apocrypha* 46:30 - Reason 15: The Climate Justice Gospel* 49:21 - Reason 16: Changing Times & Laws* 58:44 - Reason 17: The Pope* 1:01:58 - Final Thoughts This is a public episode.

At the heart of the Liturgy of the Eucharist is the epiclesis, when the priest begs the Holy Spirit to come and transform the bread and wine into the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. The Catechism explains this mysterious reality, and Fr. Mike reiterates that the Mass is not a repetition of Christ's once-and-for-all sacrifice, but a re-presentation and celebration of his eternal sacrifice on the Cross. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 1104-1112. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
