text: I have no issue with Martin or anyone else challenging the 16th c doctrine of transubstantiation. In fact this has often been done by Catholics and non-Catholics throughout the ages. My faith is not dependent upon medieval interpretations and hairsplitting over ancient texts and cultural beliefs. As for the pope, you would have to ask him about that.
  
  IMO we should focus more on loving God and neighbor and be less concerned with the "small-minded" rules that preoccupy our thoughts and church-centered activities. I believe this to be in line with the new evangelization so perhaps the pope would agree with me on that.
