Quotes on the True Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist [PDF]

Ask Fr. J – Does the Bible contradict itself?
Q: “You know the Bible contradicts itself all the time, like when it says ‘an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth’ – but the whole idea Jesus preached was to forgive. How do we know which bits to believe? And how can we trust it?”
