[MERIT]

communion is a metaphor. The bread or cracker is meant to represent the body of christ, and the grape juice (only catholics use wine) is meant to represent his blood. The idea is that consuming the body and blood of christ (metaphorically speaking) will help you become more christ-like yourself (meaning more purity and less sin). Atleast thats how I understand it to be.

The Catholic faith teaches that the wine is literally transformed into the blood of Christ and the bread is literally transformed into the body of Christ.

~nutshell~

Some Irish Catholics, like my parents, were taught as childrenthat was his ACTUAL blood. That the priest had some magical powers. The nuns told them a story of a boy who put the communioin cracker in his pocket and his pocket started to bleed real blood- Christ's blood.

My parents left the church cuz they were taught all this voo doo crap.
