Just one-third of U.S. Catholics agree with their church that Eucharist is body, blood of Christ

Ref: https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2019/08/05/transubstantiation-eucharist-u-s-catholics/

Why don't Catholic bishops (including the Archbishop of Rome) and Catholic pastors worldwide take concrete steps to remedy this problem? I don't see anything happening, and I haven't for years.

Is it because many bishops/pastors also do not believe the Most Blessed Sacrament is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ? Or is it something far darker and more sinister in nature?

Great inroads to this problem could be made with good preaching at Sunday Mass, good articles in weekly bulletins and by offering ongoing catechesis on weeknights to those who would actually attend. Instead there is absolutely nothing on the subject -- at least around here. Thank you.

Did the early Christians literally believe they were eating the flesh and drinking the blood of Jesus during the Eucharist, similar to the Catholic belief in transubstantiation?

TIL the phrase "Hocus Pocus" could have come from the Latin "Hoc est corpus meum," which is the moment in the Catholic eucharist liturgy when the priest blesses the bread, "turning it into" the body of Christ. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoc…

My church planned to bring the Eucharist to nursing homes this week.

But the police came and talked the priest out of it. They settled on doing livestream mass and serving drive-through Jesus-to-go in the parking lot.

Over 1,000 children were abused by priests just in PA. Imagine what those numbers are like nationwide and worldwide. The Catholic Church needs to be shamed every second of every day until all pedophile priests are purged from their ranks. People who protect child rapists do not deserve respect.

1,000 victims just in PA.

Imagine that number if every single state did a similar grand jury investigation. Imagine all the other cover ups.

Imagine that number if it goes worldwide.

People who protect child predators are not men of god, and they should be shamed in society until they fucking change.
