The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist

I had some trouble picking this next topic (as you may recall I was looking at Sola Fide) but I've decided to jump right in with the most important Catholic dogma of all, the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist. Hopefully, by the end of these posts I'll be able to show you why we believe what we believe and how important this really is. 


So let's dive right in: 

Arguments against the Real Presence
(and again, if I miss something, please let me know. I'm just taking these from the internet)

The Death Cookie (Honestly, I almost didn't include this. But it's got some legitimate objects under the insanity. For more on Jack Chick, check out this article) 

Jesus was asking us to recognize that his body was sinless, not that we should participate in eating it. 

It's cannibalism to eat Christ's body. 

"This is my blood of the Covenant, which is poured out for you." (Mat 26:28)

Indicates that the blood has to be poured out, so not his blood. 

Why is it His Body? Couldn't it just be His Presence, the same as it is all around us? That is to say, not His Flesh and Blood, but His Spirit. (I'm going to borrow from another source to explain this one. (Impanation, Consubstantiation)). 

Luke 22:19 Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me.”

How can Jesus be present in the Eucharist if he hadn't yet died on the cross yet?
