5. Holy Communion Sub title – Transubstantiation
At the last supper Jesus said that the bread was his body and the wine was his blood. As Roman Catholics we take this literally and believe that in every Mass service the Priest blesses the bread and the wine and it literally becomes the body and blood of Christ. This is called Transubstantiation. Protestants disagree, they believe that Jesus only meant that the bread and the wine were like his body and blood and so are symbols. So Protestants do not believe in Transubstantiation.
