"The Catholic faith draws on the word of God. We know God and his truth
not in the light of our own reason - created, finite and limited - but
in the light of his Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 12:3). He has
communicated it to us so that in Christ, the Word of God made flesh
(John 1:14; Hebrews 1:1-3; Romans 8:3; Philippians 2:7), we may
recognize the authority of God by placing all our trust in God alone. In
view of the mystery of the Eucharistic Presence of Jesus Christ, we do
not ask unbelievingly how it might be possible that we eat his flesh and
drink his blood (John 6:22-59). As true disciples of Christ, we fully
believe that he is really and truly present under the species of bread
and wine."
In a recent commentary, Cardinal Gerhard Müller reflected on why the Real Presence is indeed real.
