I'm not a vegetarian, but, I am Catholic.
However, the answer would be 'no.' You see, the Body & Blood Of Christ that we eat Is Bread & Wine. It is not the Human Body Of Jesus that we eat, but Christ In a Different Form.

This is an excellent question because you will never get a straight answer from a catholic. If you develop it to its logical conclusion you can make them squirm with embarrassment.
I had twelve years of catholic indoctrination as a child and the practice of cannibalism really revolted me.
This business of the priest saying some words over bread and wine is NOT symbolic, catholics really have to believe that he is making bread and wine into human flesh and blood.
Not to believe this is heresy and many thousands of people have been persecuted and killed in past centuries for refusing to believe this.

Yes, because Catholics believe that the transformation of the body is literally and factually Christ's body, not symbolic. They are conflicted when they partake in communion, but they do not even know it.

confident they might. they are vegetarians in this worldwide, so whilst they take communion, bodily it is purely bread and wine, yet spiritually it is the physique of Christ. Communion is nutrition for the soul, no longer the physique.

Communion is symbolism & is about being infused with the essence of Jesus - not the literal body.

I think that is a figure of speach!
We symbolize the body as bread and blood as wine.
GOD BLESS YOU!

I've asked that very question--not here but to my Catholic friends. They had no idea since they are all omnivores.
