Y’know how only a third of Catholics believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist?
Well, apparently this factoid is based on faulty survey techniques…and Jimmy Akin explains it, along with a new survey revealing that some 81% of Catholics believe in the Real Presence!

I think a lot of people SAY they believe but the way they act at Mass tells the real story.

True, I wasn’t addressing the issue of reverence, but rather the issue of the old survey that everyone always cites that says only a third of Catholics say they believe in the Real Presence.
