Catholic Eucharistic Miracles

[RichWh1]

That's not the same as talking about the Real Presence for the sake of Holy Communion. Jesus gave them the bread to eat and said it was His body. He gave them the wine to drink and said it was His blood. There was a purpose for communion...to eat and drink.

The real presence is never used outside the Gospels. The many times the disciples broke bread they came together in one place (communion). No author of the Gospels or Acts uses the word Eucharist. Let alone Holy Eucharist. There is no evidence that the disciples actually turned bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus.
The first mention of the Tran substantiation is inferred in Ignatius writing about 110ad. Nothing before that time.

I desire the Bread of God, WHICH IS THE FLESH OF JESUS CHRIST, who was of the seed of David;
Nothing before that time No apostles, no prophets, nobody. If it is that important why would they wait obverse 100 years to mention it??

That's right...the Eucharist AKA Lord's Supper AKA Holy Communion, etc. is a term that the church has used to describe something that came from Christ unlabeled but nonetheless was real because He instituted it and commanded His followers to continue to observe it.

There is no evidence that the disciples actually turned bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus.

There is, however, "evidence" of them continuing to observe (or "celebrate") this ceremony after Christ's Ascension, and, also, what they thought it meant. The term is "the Real Presence."

The first mention of the Tran substantiation is inferred in Ignatius writing about 110ad. Nothing before that time.

That's incorrect. It was the Real Presence about which we have an historical record that refers to the concept at that time or thereabouts. There was no additional suggestion that it was something new at that point.

And Transubstantiation--a different concept--didn't develop until the Middle Ages and was controversial then. It was made an official doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church in 1215.
