Ah, but as our very knowledgeable friend MysticCat once pointed out:
"The older Protestant groups -- the Lutherans, Presbyterians and Anglicans -- all teach that the Body and Blood of Christ are received in the Sacrament. They may disagree with each other (and with the Catholic Church) about how this happens, but they do teach that it does happen."
But again, I guess it's in the details.
Next question -
So, my parents got married in the Catholic church and had my brother and I. Then they got divorced. Many years later my dad wanted to get remarried so he asked my mom to go through with the annullment. So, doesn't that make my brother and I bastards in the eyes of the church and make my parents real sinners?
Funny part of the annullment - it didn't go through in time for the second marriage. So, not only did my dad have to get married in a Presbyterian church (which is what my mom happens to be), but it was a female minister! We're lucky Grandma didn't have a heart attack that day!
