But only mostly!

Catholicism truly believes you are eating Jesus's body and drinking his blood at mass.

But it's not cannibalism because the bread and wine still keep all their properties after turning into Jesus ๐Ÿค“

You could make a perfectly cromulent meringue out of human blood, and it'd have all the properties of a meringue made out of eggs (no, seriously, blood is effectively a one to one culinary equivalent of eggs, except for the taste and allergens)... but it'd still be made out of human blood. ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

It's this kind of mental gymnastics that killed church for me. Jesus had a pretty decent moral framework set up, but people mangled into a bunch of hocus pocus.
