    The Holy Sacrament is Spiritual

    Hello dev, It is spiritual food indeed. Jesus is truly manifestly present in the Eucharist as our brothers and sisters have believed and taught for 2000 years.. Here's St, Ignatius, Bishop of Antioch circa 100 AD: But mark ye those who hold strange doctrine touching the grace of Jesus Christ...
