Very good! Am a Catholic and I appreciated the recognition we give to the Eucharist. For us it is the body and the blood AND we believe the REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST is IN THE ELEMENTS, sacramental theology.
This is kind of long but I didn't know any other way to do it. However, I think some of you may find it to be interesting. Back during the major outpouring of the Holy Spirit that happened in the mid-90's (what became known as "The Toronto Outpouring of the Holy Spirit", but which happened lots of other places also, e.g. Pensacola Florida, Anaheim California, Pasadena California, The Grapevine area of central California, Bakersfield California, Atlanta Georgia, St.Louis Missouri, Birmingham Alabama, Huntsville Alabama, Hamilton Alabama, Ripley Mississippi, Lexington Kentucky, Vancouver Canada, London England, and lots of other places), the Lord proclaimed an edict (which he spoke through many Christian prophets all over the world during a two year period) saying that he wanted for Christians to forego all religious activity and instead to seek to develop their relationship with the Holy Spirit in the privacy and quietness of their own homes. He said that meant no going to church, no going to conferences, no running after teachers, no getting involved in church related 'good works' agendas, etc., but to learn how to hear the Holy Spirit speaking to them personally in the quietness at home. The prophecy was accompanied by the following verses of scripture: Isaiah 30:15, Psalm 46:10, 1 Thessalonians 4:11a, and Hebrews 4:11 (preferably in the King James Version). In the prophecy he also forewarned that when the outpouring ended (which happened in the spring of 1997) that the enemy was poised to retaliate against the outpouring by raising up the biggest onslaught of religious activity in the history of the Lord's Church. All one has to do to verify the validity of the prophecy is to take a look at the enormous amount of religious tomfoolery that has emerged since then (e.g. what's happening on RU-vid these days). At the time the prophecy was given (1995-1996) hardly anyone had the internet, and the prophecy was given ten years before RU-vid was even invented, so there were no religionists displaying themselves on the internet. The only ones who were on public display were the televangelists, and there were only a dozen or so of them. Anyway, in order to give you an idea about the accuracy of the prophecy, I've included the following list of religious channels on RU-vid (and these might not be half of what's out there): Stewardship Ministries, Global Prayer Room, Humble Seeker, Glory of Zion, Signs & Wonders, Prophets Among Us, Hope For Our Times, The Unleashing, Embassy of Zion, Tribulation Saints, Ever Increasing Faith Ministries, Prophecy Again TV, Paladin For Christ, Prophecy Source, God's Handmaiden, Living For Christ, Prophecy Live, God Rules, International House Of Prayer, King's Report, Heaven's Catalyst, Prophecy Club, Jesus Daily, Prophecy Update, RTR Prophecy Watch, Angel Of The Apocalypse, The Lion of Judah, Tribulation Saints, The God Culture, The Home Of The Remnant, Glorious Church, Faith Broadcasting Network, Jesus' Word, Christian Truthers, Emmaus Road, Prophecy Words, Dear God, Endless Treasures In Christ Jesus, Behold I Come, End Times Research Ministries, Jesus' Truth, Open Air Outreach, A Voice In The Desert, The Gospel Truth, Academy Of Light, God And Prophecies, Spreading His Word, Warriors Prayer Boot Camp, Truth Endures, Prophetic TV, Alpha And Omega Productions, Alpha And Omega Ministries, Revelation End Time, The Superior Word, The Christian Watchman, The Christian Warrior, Prophets Among Us, Saved By Grace, Daily Effective Prayer, Fire Ministries 777, The Official 700 Club, The Watchman, Pillars Of Bible Truth, Amazing Worship Media, Above Inspiration, God Rules, Rod Of Iron Kingdom, It Is Finished, Applying God's Word, Watchman On The Wall, End Times Productions, His Glory, Grace For Exploit, Elijah & Moses, Living Waters, Midnight Hour Oil, Grace Digital, Still Waters, Parable Of The Vineyard, Latter Rain 333, The Word, The Sign, & The Sword, Christ In Prophecy, Helping Hands Ministry, Believers In Grace Fellowship, Sword Of The Lord, King Of Glory Ministries, White Dove Ministries, Saint Warrior, Elevation Church, Cross Examined, The Two Preachers, The Code Searcher, Morningstar Ministries, Desiring God, The Last Reformation, The Carpenter's Son, Lion And Lamb Ministries, God's Healer 7, NQ Ministries, Encounter TV, On Point Preparedness, Destiny Encounters, Anonymous Official, Bible Flock Box, Blue Heaven, OTG Ministry, Grace For Purpose, BBC International, AMTV, Gospel Motivation, Spirit World Ministries, Bible News Prophecy, Heaven Exists, Spiritual Awakening, Sure Word Of Prophecy Ministry, Jesus Culture, Hope Of God's Light, et al.

Personally, I think that there's a specific reason why the kingdom of darkness religious spirits are so frantically trying to manifest in the realm of religion now, which is because they know that in the not-too-distant future the Lord is going to pour out the end-time outpouring of the Holy Spirit that is foretold in scripture (Joel 2:23, Hosea 6:3, Matt. 24:14, James 5:7, and Revelation 14:14-16, King James Version), and they're trying to use this counterfeit religious movement as a buffer against it, first, by engendering the itching ears syndrome in people (per 2 Tim. 4:3-4), and then exploiting it by propping up a myriad of preachers, false teachers, and false prophets, who are running on soul power that is energized by religious spirits (i.e. preachers who are experts at scratching people's itching ears), in order to acclimate people to that kind of ministry so that when the outpouring comes it will be so radically different than what they're used to that they'll be afraid of it (which is exactly what happened to millions of American and Canadian Christians during the mid-90's outpouring of the Holy Spirit that started in Toronto). Whenever the Lord pours out an outpouring of the Holy Spirit he unveils the Christian prophets who minister with kingdom of God power, and as happens every time, the kingdom of darkness demons do all they can think of to cause people to be afraid of the prophets when the Lord brings them out of hiding. And I think that's what this current frantic religious movement is all about (which by the way includes the rapturemania movement and the flat earth charade). It's almost as if it's their great last stand thing they can think of to do to try to hurt the Lord and to thwart his kingdom right before the end comes (per Revelation 12:12). Yesterday afternoon (March 14, 2019) while I was sitting at my desk not thinking about anything in particular, out of the blue this thought popped into my mind: "While it is true that the Lord said 'Blessed are the poor in Spirit,' he didn't say blessed are the poor in spiritual discernment."
