0:00.0 | So our next question comes from Carolina X Rose and they say hi Mike question |
0:06.4 | regarding the Lord's Supper. I was discussing Lord's Supper with a Catholic |
0:09.9 | friend following Easter and hadn't realized how differently reviewed it. |
0:13.1 | Protestants believe communion is symbolic while Catholics believe Christ is |
0:16.9 | physically and spiritually present in the Eucharist. My understanding is that |
0:20.5 | this stems from a disagreement about whether Jesus was speaking literally or |

1:07.9 | think that this is literal. That the initial Passover was not meant to be |
1:16.2 | understood by Jesus or the disciples as a literal transformation of the bread |
1:22.2 | into the body of Christ physically and the wine into the blood of Christ at |
1:26.8 | least the substance versus the accident if you want to borrow from Catholic |
1:31.4 | philosophy and understanding of metaphysics and stuff. All right here's some |
