The main difference lies within the way that Catholic's view communion and the way that Pentecostal's view communion. Catholics believe in the doctrine of transubstantiation. This means that they believe that the communion starts out as bread and wine and transforms into the body and blood of Jesus. Pentecostals see communion as being the symbolic body and blood of Jesus, but only being bread and wine (this view is not to be confused with the doctrine of consubstantiation). Catholics view communion as a sacred and holy ritual. The Eucharist, as it is called, is a holy sacrament in the Catholic Church. Often times Catholics and other liturgical churches (especially Orthodox Churches) will criticize non-liturgical Protestant churches (including Pentecostal churches) of not guarding the communion as well as it should be guarded. For example, within the Catholic Church a priest must consume any leftovers of the Eucharist as to not throw away something deemed holy. Catholics and Pentecostals may sometimes use different materials in terms of food. Catholics strictly use wine, while some Pentecostal churches use Grape Juice. There is a debate as to whether or not grape juice is indeed proper to use, after all, Jesus said to use wine. Catholics use thin wafers as the bread. Some Pentecostal churches use crackers and others use actual bread.
