Laurie Cardoza-Moore welcomes Yaffah Batya DaCosta back to Proclaiming Justice for a second conversation, this time on communion.
Where did the doctrine of transubstantiation actually come from, and does it hold up against the Torah's clear prohibition on consuming blood? DaCosta walks through the Fourth Lateran Council of 1215, the influence of Constantine and the Greco-Roman reshaping of the early church, and what Jesus, a Torah-observant Jew, most likely meant when he said "this is my body, this is my blood."

The conversation also touches Deuteronomy 18's prophecy of a coming prophet, and how institutional blindness to these Jewish roots later opened the door to antisemitism within the Church and beyond it. If you've ever wondered how much of what you practice on Sunday actually traces back to Scripture, this episode is for you.
