Are Catholics Cannibals- Sean Burns

Growing up in a Catholic Church I was told that the Bread and Wine became the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Many would say that this Catholic belief could be seen as cannibalistic. If true, one of the world's most prominent sects of Christianity would lose favor in the public eye. The Catholic church, which promotes the right to life would go against this idea that eating the body and blood of Christ and that Jesus said "do this in memory of me." But then if it is done in memory of their Lord then the bread and wine can not be transfigured into the body and blood of Christ. This has been argued by many groups that are not catholic because other sects of Christianity do not view the Eucharist as the body and blood but it is rather a symbolic sacrament. Therefore in conclusion this argument on whether or not Catholicism is Cannibalistic can only be based on interpretation and only on ones moral and spiritual beliefs.
