69% of the US "Catholics" deny the transubstantiation of bread and wine into Christ's Body and Blood during Mass.
They understand Holy Communion in a merely symbolic way, the Pew Research Center found (August 5).
In addition, 43% of Catholics have never heard about the doctrine of transubstantiation and believe that their symbolic understanding is also the Church's position.
Even among Catholics who attend Mass every Sunday, 37% don’t believe in transubstantiation. 23% of them do not even know that this teaching exists.
Among Catholics under age forty, only 26% believe in transubstantiation.

Catholics who receive Holy Communion without believing in the Real presence of Christ commit sacrilege.

Council of Trent
To deny the substance of the Eucharist is to precipitate oneself into excommunication
If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist there are truly, really, and substantially contained the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore the whole Christ, but shall say that He is in it as by a sign or figure, or force,…More
Council of Trent

If anyone denies that in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist there are truly, really, and substantially contained the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and therefore the whole Christ, but shall say that He is in it as by a sign or figure, or force, let him be anatema. […] If anyone moreover teaches the contrary or preaches or obstinately asserts, or even publicly by disputation shall presume to defend the contrary, by that fact itself he is excommunicated. (Denzinger-Hunermann 1651, Council of Trent, Session XIII, Decree on the Sacrament of the Eucharist, October 11, 1551)

1 Corinthians 11:29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord.

Wait! Wait!!!
Wasn't the Mass in English (or Spanish, or other vernacular language) supposed to make people understand the Eucharist better?...More

Thank you all the heretic theologians, priests, and bishops who dismantled the sacred liturgy. This disqualifies all those post consiliar popes who are being fast-tracked to "sainthood". Satan went right at the heart of Catholicism. No pope or hierarchy had the authority to abolish the Latin Rite. VII ignored most of what was codified by previous councils and invented a new religion.

Ironically, they are probably correct in most cases. With a novus ordo mass, celebrated by a novus ordo priest who was ordained by a novus ordo bishop there are three very serious doubts about validity.
