Doddy asked:


In the Catholic faith, it is believed that when the communion wafer touches your tongue, it becomes Jesus’ flesh. So, how many wafers does it take to equal the whole of Jesus’ body?

   More than you would think, it is estimated around 17,500,000 wafers, give or take a few because we don’t know his exact characteristics.

   He also couldn’t OD on alcohol, as proved by the alcohol level in his blood as soon as it touches your mouth.

   Why is this Question in Food & Drink ?
   Why be disrepectful with Someone Else’s Religion?
   If you do not believe that is fine, but please do not make fun of someone’s Religion. Thank you.

   All of them, from every Mass that has ever or will ever be celebrated.

   Tucking this into Food & Drink really wasn’t as clever as you thought.

   Wrong. The wafter becomes Christ at the altar when the priest says the words, “This is my body…”, not when it touches the tongue.

   The single wafer itself if the whole, complete body of Christ. Even the smallest crumb from a wafer is the full, complete body of Christ.

   God bless.

   The body of Christ is all the members of the church.

    Well, it’s supposed to be symbolic of Jesus’s flesh. Not his “real” flesh.
