Please Help Me Understand: Transubstantiation

Father Dave helps a listener understand the challenging concept of transubstantiation better. Another caller expresses his gratitude for the quality of the answer, and asks if he himself could use explanation as well. (Originally aired: 01/19/10)

Ok. I have been a protestant for the last four years and transubstantiation is an issue that I’ve been struggling with. I have been investigating the Catholic church for about a month now and have come to the conclusion you have to take most of what comes in a “religious package” on faith. Thanks Father Dave for the metaphor… it really kinda made things make sense.
