 Hi Joe,
 I quite agree that this is RC dogma, however, my point was that no
 Christian, including the RCC, would teach that this practice is
 cannibalistic. I've never come across any writings that would indicate
 this. They simply do not believe nor actively  promote cannibalism the
 way it's been debated on this list. I think that sometimes we look for
 boogaboos where there are none. ;o)
 
 The reason I said "_some_" RCs believe this dogma is that of all the
 RCs I know, very few of them actually believe that the wafer and wine
 are actually Jesus, at least the way the RCC intends it. In Quebec,
 where I live, the RCC had almost absolute power over us, years ago
 when I was a boy. But, after the "Quiet Revolution", many people
 freely aqmitted _not_ believing this dogma the way the RCC taught it.

Right.  They teach that they are actually consuming the real actual body of
Christ, while maintaining that this is not cannibalism, even though they are
claiming to do what the dictionary defines as cannibalism.  It's just the
verbal hoops that Christians of all sorts go through.
