We have God before our eyes, masked in the sacred Host

How Come You Catholics Worship a Piece of Bread?

“How come you Catholics worship a piece of bread? Don’t you know that idolatry is the worst sin of all? And yet you Catholics bow down and worship the bread used during the communion service—which, of course, is only symbolic—as if was God. The idea that the bread becomes the body of Christ is not b...
