Someone remind me again why we drink the blood of Christ @ Church. Have they perverted religion over time or do they all have dark origins?
Hard topic to talk about before this Pope.
After pondering it and reading many of the comments, I need to say that I am a Catholic and I believe in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Jesus instituted the Sacrament of the Holy Eucharist at the Last Supper when He said, “Do this in remembrance of me.”. In 6 John, He said, “I am the Bread of Life.”. Paul discusses the ramifications of receiving the Eucharist unworthily in 1 Cor 11:27. When Catholics receive Communion we are not participating in a pagan ritual, we are doing Christ’s bidding to partake of Him, in order to become more like Him, so that we can merit eternal salvation.
Scientific evidence of the Real Presence exists. When consecrated Hosts have been analyzed, they have been consistently shown to be human heart tissue under the guise of bread. Many Eucharistic miracles have been documented over time. Please watch this 10 minute video for some proof and a few miracles.

The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist is not only spiritual but physical. He resides in all the Tabernacles of all the Catholic churches of the world, in every consecrated Host, not just when a Eucharistic miracle takes place. In that sense, every consecrated Host is truly a miracle. That is what makes Eucharistc Adoration so powerful.
That being said. I am not privy to the additions, omissions, and changes made to the Bible by evil. No matter what though, God makes good from all things. I believe that with my whole heart and soul, just as I believe that the Holy Trinity dwells within every soul living in the state of grace. God Wins, and nothing and no one can stop that.
The presence of God is very real during adoration of the Eucharist. We are remembering the shedding of Christ's blood for our sins. Eating and drinking Christ's body and blood is spiritual and has manifested physically as Mary Gessler has said. It is not cannibalism but taking part in oneness with Christ. Not physical at all but spiritual union that is not easily understood by some.
