Well, yes, I believe in transubstantiation - that somehow the bread and wine becomes Christ. That's a central and sacred belief for Catholics.

Understanding is another matter - it gets into a language I don't want to speak. My understanding is what I said, that somehow the bread and wine becomes Christ. How do I explain what's sacred to me, in the words of those who don't consider those things sacred? All I can say is that it means a lot to me.
