It’s called transubstantiation, and it has been scientifically proven to be real. We have already sequenced Christ’s DNA, and China is supposedly secretly trying to clone him as we speak. This decade is just going to keep getting weirder.
Can't, uh, can't tell if this is sarcastic
You really can't? Come on now
Someone who genuinely believes this stuff would say the exact same type of things, so... No, I can't. And it's not some personal failing, it's cause I have no idea who that is to calibrate expectations against.
I will say that "We did science on the cracker and proved it is Jesus" feels far more Protestant than Catholic.
Catholics would be reading you 16th century poetry and laying out a convoluted metaphor, then rolling their eyes and sighing before insisting "Its a Sacred Mystery, I am legally obligated to say I believe it is real". We're all writing letters to the Pope to politely ask that we can drop this kayfabe shit in Vatican III. But until then, Transubstantiation is real please stop asking further questions.
Protestants have always been flirting with secularization. That's sort of their brand. They take a scope of rationalist scientific inquiry and mix it in with a scope of Christian mysticism, then try to logic their way to Salvation by doing math on scripture. Incidentally, not unlike how a lot of Kabbalist Jews try to force the Talmud through a Renaissance Era series of tubes.
Sometimes you can pop out the back side more zanny than the Catholicism you started with (doggedly insisting in 6000 year old Earth based on doing Biblical genealogy). Sometimes you come out as Prosperity Gospel types who have wrapped the pastiche of Christianity around the machinery of capitalist market enterprise. Sometimes you do Liberation Theology and turn into a far-left socialist radical. But for a lot of Protestants, its just an exercise in Cafeteria Catholicism. Take the bits you like, discard the bits you don't, and rewrite the old scriptures in your own modern image.
