Episode 24: This is my body? Really?

On this subject Matt and Levi discuss the Lord’s Supper and how this doctrine makes Lutherans more Catholic than Protestant, while Trent serves coffee somewhere in the barren wasteland of Canada. We read through scripture, the confessions, and a few early church fathers as we do our best to explain why Lutherans (and the rest of the Church Catholic) have always been literalists when it comes to Christ’s words: “This is my Body… This is my Blood”. We end by taking a few shots at Calvin and finally trading sectarian high-fives.
