Answers questions about one of the fundamental beliefs of the Catholic Church. "Why does it make sense for Catholics to believe in what has traditionally been called transubstantiation (the changing of the whole substance of the bread and wine into the body and blood of Christ? Why is it important to say that the Eucharist is a concrete encounter of the community with Jesus and not just a spiritual thing between an individual and God? In our own human experience we can discover why real presence and the body-and-blood presence of Christ are important to us and to God," writes VonLehmen.
