REAL PRESENCE

BASIC R.C. BELIEF

When the priest in the Mass, says the words of consecration (Hoc est corpus

meum: this is my body) the Lord Jesus Christ becomes substantially present

in the Host. When the Host is eaten in Communion, although Roman Catholics

don't believe Jesus is subject to digestive juices, as the wafer loses its

accidental form the Real Presence of Christ ceases to be present in the

person.

In a Roman Catholic Church bulletin (6/30/57) the priest wrote: "The Church

tells us that Jesus remains in our bodies 15 minutes after we receive Holy

Communion: we should not leave the Church until Our Lord is no longer with

us."
