Is a Catholic Who Takes Communion Cannibalistic?

In this discussion, Tony Forrest leads a discussion on the question of whether or not taking communion is considered cannibalistic. Although Catholics believe in the true presence of the Body and Blood of Christ, is it considered cannibalistic? Why would Jesus tells us to eat His Body and Drink His Blood? Does bread and wine become human flesh? Where does the idea of Jesus giving himself up as a sacrifice come from? We explore this and other questions.
