ho would genuflect before a piece of bread?
That is why throughout our country thousands, please God
I’m wrong, millions of once professed Catholics no longer genuflect before the
holy Eucharist.
Who would genuflect before a piece of bread? So the learned denial of Christ’s real Presence goes on. Page after page Schillebeeckx reduces the Holy Eucharist to a symbol of Christ’s love for us a manifestation of Christ’s generosity.
But Christ Himself is not in the Eucharist the purpose or finality of the bread and wine are changed but they remain bread and wine their substance has not been changed into the living Jesus Christ. I cannot tell you how deeply it pains me to have to quote from these two geniuses, Rahner a member of the society of Jesus and Schillebeeckx a member of the Dominican order of preachers. But I know agonizingly well how deeply their ideas have penetrated once Catholic cultures. That is why our next section is on the consequences.
