== Specific Eucharistic Doctrines ==

[[Roman Catholic]]: the Catholic Church believes in [[transubstantiation]], the doctrine that the whole substance of the bread and wine is transformed into the whole substance of Jesus Christ—His body, blood, soul, and divinity. This church believes that the service is more than a memorial, and also that the Eucharist (and thus the [[Mass]]) is a re-presentation of Christ's eternal once for all sacrifice in the Upper Room and on the Cross made present as the supreme sacrifice-offering-up of worship and thanksgiving (Greek "''eu-charistia''") in union with him to God the Father. Those perspectives are not, however, part of the doctrine of the Real Presence.

[[Anglican]]: The Anglican churches officially believe in the Real Presence received only in a non-carnal way and explicitly reject the doctrine of transubstantiation. However, a small minority of "Anglo-Catholic" Anglicans do accept transubstantiation.
