Transubstantiation is one of the creepiest dogmas of the Roman Catholic Church.
It's like cannibalism and schizophrenia mixed into one.

What I find "creepy" is more the claim of the Catholic Church that outside of it there is no salvation. Seeking to present itself as God's sole representative upon earth.
Transubstantiation in essence is about "earthly" and ordinary things becoming "incarnate" with the divine - and once again the Catholic Church seeks to restrict such power to its own priests [i]and no others[/i].
As a non-theistic, non-dual Buddhist, much Buddhist symbolism expresses "the immanence of the liberative potential, or buddha nature, in the ground of the earth, as well as in the inner, psychological ground of being, ever ready to spring forth and benefit beings when called." Various symbols and images represent "the fertility of the earth itself and the wondrous, healing, natural power of creation, or the phenomenal world."
No one, no organisation, no religion, no church, dictates how such is "called forth" or can come to be.
