Catholic Q&A

First topic message reminder :

Any questions for about the Catholic Church? Ask away!

This was awhile ago so let me clarify something, you're claiming that the Eastern Orthodox Church and the Roman Catholic Church, today, agree on all doctrine?

My apologies, I misread the question as about the two main segments within Catholicism, namely Roman Catholic and Byzantine. I failed to realize Ox and Jehosophat referred to disagreement between Catholicism and the Eastern Orthodoxy, differences which do exist, though you have to get fairly deep into theological specifics of doctrine to get at it.

So, you're a cannibal?

Hey! Why didn't I get the cannibal question too?

No. No we are not.

Oh. So you don't believe you eat Jesus in the bread and juice?

Yes. Yes we do believe that Jesus is physically present in the Eucharist but that does not make us cannibals neccesarily.

So, Jesus no longer has a body?

He does still have a body.

IIRC Justin Martyr (c.a. 2nd century) wrote a letter to Marcus Aurelius explaining that, contrary to popular belief among Roman pagans at the time, Christians don't cannibalize. As far as we know, the emperor never received Justin's letter.
