The Catholic Church has been accused of cannibalism because of the Eucharist. So here is the difference. You can eat and drink human flesh under the appearances and "form" of human flesh and blood. But in the Eucharist you eat and drink the Body and Blood of Christ under the appearances and "form" of bread and wine. Chemical analysis still indicates it is bread and wine, but it is still considered substantially the Body and Blood of Christ. The Eucharist is therefore food for both the body; but especially and spiritually, for the soul.

It may not be cannibalism if they aren't eating real flesh or drinking real blood but the fact that they believe (erroneously) the breed and wine to be flesh and blood does give it the same psychology as real cannibals.

Such symbolic cannibalism is disgusting and should not be tolerated in any civilised society.

The sacrament of the eucharist is all symbolic - a sort of audi-visual learning tool to make us understand and remember what Christ did to save us from our sin. Yes, you are right it is still bread and wine.

I dont understand, yet because of the fact the guy doesnt could desire to be ineffective with the intention to shed epidermis and make dirt, i might think of there may well be no longer something incorrect with it. Cannabolism is purely wonrg considering you are able to desire to kill a guy to do it.
