Ummmm ... interesting statement from a colleague this past week:
"In my view it would be easier to convince a Catholic that the elements of the Mass are not truly the body and blood of Jesus than to convince a Pentecostal of scientific issues contrary to their teaching."
Which statement brings this thought to mind:
First, it's elements of the Eucharist, not the Mass. Second, you mean they aren't? But seriously ... if Pentecostals are not even willing to accept that Catholics are really Christians, how can we expect Pentecostals to accept transubstantiation as one of those Signs and Wonders. You know, like faith healing. Words of Knowledge. Predictive prophecy. That sort of thing.
Just sayin'.
