How do you make that white church bread?

The white church bread you refer to is often called a host. Various churches have different prescriptions regarding what it can be made out of. Catholics can only use unleavened bread made from flour and water. Some Orthodox and Eastern rites use leavened bread in cubes. Most Protestants use a variation, either prescribed by their denomination or left to the discretion of the pastor.


Who is the leader of the Catholics?

The pope for Roman Catholics (Catholics who attend mass in the Latin rite), as well as for Catholics of the Byzantine Catholic Church, the Ethiopian Catholic Church, the Greek Catholic Church, the Maronite Catholic Church, the Assyrian Catholic Church, and many more, none of which celebrate the Roman rite, but all of which are in union with the Pope.


Why is eucharist important to Catholics?

The Eucharist is important to Catholics because Christ is important to Catholics. You see, the Catholic Church teaches the doctrine of the real Presence, which means that Catholics believe that the host is not a mere symbol of the Body of Christ, and the wine of the blood. They are really and truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ sacramentally present under the appearance of bread and wine.


Are Assyrians Eastern Catholics?

The Assyrian Church of the East is not in full communion with the Holy See and the Catholic Church, so the Assyrian Church of the East is not Catholic at all to begin with. However, some parishes that were once under the Assyrian Church of the East have since come into communion with the Chaldean Catholic Church and some of these Chaldean Catholic parishes kept Assyrian in their name, but they are still Chaldean Catholics. Chaldean Catholics are of the Chaldean Rite, which is an Eastern Rite in the Catholic Church, so they, Chaldean Catholics, are also Eastern Catholics. The only Assyrian Catholics are those Catholics that are of the Assyrian ethnic group.

Why do some Christians believe that the bread and wine at Communion is only symbolic and simply remembers Jesus while some believe that the bread and wine is in a real way transformed into the body an?

The Catholic church teach that when the sacrament is blessed it BECOMES the flesh and blood of Christ. For the Catholics this is a matter of doctrine/faith. Most of the rest of the Christian community believe, that the bread and wine SYMBOLISE Christ's body and blood in the same manner of imagery/metaphor that Christ himself used at the last supper before his death. Thus Catholics are welcome to share the sacrament at any other church but the Catholic church will not allow a non Catholic to share the sacrament in a Catholic church.
