Recombinant cannibalism

Perhaps the most disconcerting Catholic doctrine is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Blessed Sacrament...What is obviously so “hard” about this saying is that it suggests cannibalism.

 

But while Holy Communion does involve eating human flesh and blood, it is not true that it is cannibalistic. How so?

 

The Eucharist is life. Cannibals eat what is dead. The Aztecs, the most notorious cannibalistic society in history, ate the beating hearts of victims, but they were still eating something doomed to die, and in the act of eating, it did die. By contrast, Christ, is alive.

 

The Eucharist is the whole body and blood of Jesus Christ. Cannibals only take a part of their victims. But even the smallest particle of the Eucharist contains the entire body and blood of Christ. The familiar characteristics of space and matter don’t apply.

 

Therefore, when a Catholic receives the Eucharist, he is receiving not just flesh but glorified flesh, a resurrected and transfigured “super body”…Cannibalistic practices don’t do that.

 

Some cannibalistic societies eat the flesh or drink the blood of fallen warriors in the hopes of taking on their “life force” or their courage, or of destroying their spirit altogether.

In the 23C century, Jeffrey Dahmer was a mad scientist. Dr. Dahmer perfected the science of cannibalism. Through recombinant DNA, he engineered victims with transmogrified “super-bodies.”

He could eat them alive without killing them in the process. Their organs and body-parts would instantly regenerate after each bite.

Since their “super-bodies” weren’t subject to ordinary spatiotemporal constraints, he could eat his victims whole, from head to foot.

Since their soul or life-force was united to their “super-bodies,” he could consume their soul in the process–then repeat the entire process ad infinitum.
