Transubstantiation vs. Consubstantiation vs. Representation and all that. :-) But what impressed me so much was the symbolism of it in the seder...and how distinctly it portrayed Messiah.

We truly believe that the bread and wine do become the body and blood of our saviour. John 6:53-60 is when Jesus prophesies about what he will do and many of his followers left at that point, they were so scandalized. This was cannibalism to them. But for me as a Catholic, this is the very centre of my faith. The real presence of Christ, body soul and divinity in that bread and wine.
