Transubstantiation

[Mmn654123]

I am a Catholic.

I do not believe that the communion wafer literally becomes the body of a Christ at the moment of transubstantiation.

Others believe it does.

I have no objections to their belief, but I do not share it.

AIBU in thinking this does not make me a bigot?

YABU - transubstantiation is real you bigot - you must believe, or your thinking is a literal religious hate crime

YANBU - live and let live - as long as nobody else is impacted by your beliefs

Mmn654123 I'm not sure that is quite how it works, but it's nice that she cares

Yes indeed! Babies can be baptised by anyone (nurses would often baptise babies who might die) but I’m dubious about the holy water gift method. But my aunt insists that there is some ‘rule’ that if you accept the gift of holy water then you’re accepting the sacrament and so you’re Catholic. Whether you know it or not.

She’s very determined we all make it to heaven with her! As you say, nice she cares!

Ignoring the gender stuff

“i do not believe that the communion wafer literally becomes the body of a Christ at the moment of transubstantiation.“ well if you believe in the moment of transubstantiation you Believe in the changing of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ.

Do you believe I’m consubstantistion?
