Transubstantiation is one of the creepiest dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church.

It's like cannibalism and schizophrenia mixed into one.

The Eucharist is central to Christian Worship. It has many interpretations.Banquet , a remembrance, a meeting of God and man in worship.

St Paul details it in Corinthians, and it is central to three of the four gospels.
St John’s is shot though with it.

It should not be mocked.

@SW-User Paul didn't mention anything about transubstantiation. We take communion in the Protestant church as well. The difference is we don't believe we are literally consuming the flesh and blood of Christ. We understand the symbolic meaning.

I suspect I’m in agreement with you, but accept there is a wide interpretation.

We are in communion with the Risen Christ who has made peace for us with God. And he is Lord if our lives.

There is no second sacrifice.
@SW-User What's God going to do about it? Continue to do nothing?

Who's '[b]we[/b]'?
Many who would call themselves 'protestants' do manage to ignore John 6:51-55, yes, but others take it quite seriously, and argue for some idea of 'real presence'. Very few, however, would imagine such an entity as might be rightly called '[b]the Protestant church[/b]'.
