We believe in transubstantiation, which is the transformation of bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ, Our Lord.

We also believe in the authority of the pope, which is something incredibly special, as the teaching comes from Jesus himself, when he chose Peter as the first ever pope ("You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church.")

If you have any more specific questions, please feel free to email me: pippa.quinn33@gmail.com.

I hope this helped!
