∙ 13y ago
Since its inception. The belief first came from the Apostles on the night of our Lord's Last Supper (Holy Thursday) when our Lord Jesus Christ turned bread into His Body and wine into His Most Precious Blood. After Jesus died, rose, and ascended into Heaven the Apostles institutionalized the Church in the Acts of the Apostles. From there, they did as Christ asked them to repeat at the Last Supper.

Luther believed in the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist, while Zwingli viewed it symbolically. The similarities lie in their shared desire for church reform and emphasis on Scripture as the ultimate authority.
Did J.R.R. Tolkien believe magic and religion were compatible?
No, Tolkien was a Catholic. But he had no problem with fantasy magic in fictional stories, as that isn't real and the Catholic Church has no opposition to fictional stories. Catholic Church doctrine clearly states that occult magic is "a lie of the Devil" and practicing it is a very serious sin. When they say occult magic is a "lie" they mean very clearly that it is NOT real and any observed effects and results are faked by either the Devil or his demons. This is what Tolkien believed.

Are orthodox parishioners Catholic?
They depends on whether you meant to capitalize Orthodox or not. The Orthodox Church is not Catholic, they split from the Catholic Church officially in the 12th century. If you orthodox as believing in the Church doctrines, then that is the only kind of parishioner that is a real Catholic. Anyone who is not orthodox in his belief, is by definition, heterodox, otherwise known as a protestant, even if they still maintain nominal membership in the Catholic Church.
