That is what my preist told me, not that we actually consume a part of jesus' physical self.

Which is why you aren't Catholic and I am.
That is why there are so many religions and sects out there- because we all have different beliefs.
And Jesus never said specifically "Dont give blow jobs to the boys baseball team" (or after for that matter) but we know it is a sin.
Catholics believe that Jesus said "this is my body and this is my blood" and he meant THIS is my body and my blood... flesh and blood... and yes we believe the holy ghost comes down and through mass is able to transform the hosts and wine into the body and blood of Christ. This is one HUGE difference between Catholicism and many other religions, like Episcopalian. Close, but not quite- kind of like Diet Catholic. *as my Episopalian friends say"
