Using A "Blog Shout Out"

The following is a question that I just received on an old post regarding the Roman Catholic position on the Lord's Supper:

"Alright, now for my next question...WHY would the Roman Catholic church feel they need to literally eat and drink of Christ's body?"

I struggled some degree as to how I should answer such a question. As I pondered what my response should be I remembered from the TV show Cash Cab that the contestants get either a "mobile shout out" or "street shout out" to help answer their questions. So why can't a blogger get a "blog shout out"? Since I set up this blog I reserve the right to make the rules. Therefore, I opt to turn to Sam Storms teaching on the "sacramentalism" of the Roman Catholic Church to answer the above question. His comments are brief, yet accurate and understandable. No doubt, Storms explanations will raise more questions. However, Storms teaching is a good start. Just click on the links below to view his comments. His teaching on sacramentalism comes in three parts. The first part is the most important because it answers the above question directly. However, I would encourage you to read as much as you can, especially the section on "the Eucharist" (part 2). In this section Storms describes what happens in the mass according to the teaching of the Roman Catholic church. I will post the links below. However, if you opt not to read Storms in full, please do not refrain from reading the quote below. It is a stunning statement (and might I add- untrue).

"The Council of Trent (16th century) issued the following declarations concerning the sacrament of the Eucharist:
'If any one shall deny that the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and, therefore, entire Christ, are truly, really, and substantially contained in the Sacrament of the most holy Eucharist; and shall say that He is only in it as in a sign or in a figure, or virtually, let him be accursed. . . . If any one shall say that the substance of the bread and wine remains in the Sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, together with the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ; and shall deny that wonderful and singular conversion of the whole substance of the bread into the body, and of the whole substance of the wine into the blood, the outward forms of the bread and wine still remaining, which conversion the Catholic Church most aptly calls Transubstantiation, let him be accursed' (Session 13, Canons 1-2)."
