Catholics believe in transubstantiation which is the belief that when a Catholic priest pronounces the words of consecration in the Mass, the bread and wine substantial transform into the real Body and Blood of Christ. Catholics cite the Last Supper as the origin of this practice when Christ said while holding the bread "This is my body, do this remembrance of me". Protestants believe that Christ is speaking figuratively and symbolically whereas Catholics take it literally.

∙ 14y agoBecause divorce without a priest's blessing is considered a major sin.
(If you get the blessing its called an annulment, and then everything is O.K.) ---- For Catholics, marriage is a lifelong promise to God, to one's spouse, to one's community, and to the Church. It is "for richer, for poorer, in sickness, in health, until death us do part." Although Western society has adopted a more and more casual attitude to marriage, divorce, and remarriage, the Catholic Church carries on the traditional teaching dating back to the time of Christ, "What God has joined, man must not divide." In serious cases, the Catholic Church realizes that a civil divorce may become necessary. For example, in cases where there may be danger to either spouse or to the children, pastors will encourage the parishioner to move ahead at once with plans to end the marriage in a civil divorce. In any case, a conscientious Catholic will consult his or her pastor as soon as he or she realizes the marriage is breaking down, and certainly before initiating civil divorce proceedings. Most pastors will be helpful as well as sympathetic. Catholics get themselves into difficulty when they take steps to end a Catholic marriage without ever consulting their pastor (or any Church official), and especially when they simply go ahead and remarry after a civil divorce. Catholics in these situations have been so unfortunate as to have commited objectively serious sins, and cannot receive Holy Communion worthily until they have amended their lives and received forgiveness in the Sacrament of Confession.
