PAGAN 9JA:



genuine question.

how can bread and wine turn to a body?

is this some kind of witchcraft ritual tinz?

Ubenedictus: God said it, i believe, that settles it.

POPE II: I didn't ask the definition of both words, I'm more interested in the differences. What do protestants do during their so called services which make them angry whenever I ask if they attended today's mass , they are always correcting me as if the word mass is unholy.

BTW thank you for the definitions

Ubenedictus: pope u dey shame me, the mass is d re-enactment/re-presentation of d sacrificial death of christ, bread and wine become his body and we partake of his sacrifice, it is offered to thank God for his goodness and for d good of d whole church.
Protestants dont believe in such thing, u cant ask a protestant hw was mass 'cos he didnt go to mass he went 4 service.

POPE II: I'm sorry ooo thanks God my brethren are there to help me .

I didn't know protestants don't do that

FrancisTony: LOL @Unbenedictus. Pentecostals does it this days! Like the one my Uncle attends and some of my neighbour.

Though, some use Loaf of bread(haven't seen it but heard it).

The one my Uncle attends Break holy communion but once in a Month.

POPE II: heard that do, my cousind used to tell me that protestants used bread + avocado and syrup as wine. Lwkmd .

POPE II: God forbid.

woky: syrup

woky: even if they invite you for thanksgiving

POPE II: mint juice

POPE II: hopefully it will never happen.

I doubt I would ever feel comfortable in a non Catholic place of worship
