   The Roman Catholics go beyond that. Their dogma teaches that the bread   
   and wine are 'transubstantiated' into actual human flesh and blood. So   
   far, lab tests have failed to confirm that dogma. I guess it's just   
   another example of the lord working in mysterious ways. Or, it's just   
   more religious bullshit.
