A tale by Herman of Bologna in the Viaticum narrationum (ca. 1280–1290) describes the rather comical story of how a Jew of Cologne, having received communion, kept the host in his mouth; when he removed it, he discovered that it had turned into a tiny child. When he put it back in his mouth, it had become so hard he could not chew it or swallow it, and eventually, admitting the miracle, he was converted. This was in fact the first literary tale in which a Jew ingested the Eucharist. Many versions of this tale continued to be circulated in the later Middle Ages.172

Why would you put the child back in your mouth and attempt to chew it!?
Is it because you are a Jew as written by a 13th century Christian and are therefore operating on a “see a child, eat a child” system?
13th century Jewish guy with pica:
So I put the child back in my mouth, which was the style at the time.
Why would you put it back in your mouth if it turned into a literal child? Man the religious are weird
Well that’s what everyone else was eating.
the priest said something like that would happen, who am i to question it?
Everyone was high back then wtf
When the priest hands you a tab
When that eucharist looks moldy

Transubstantiation joke. Disagreements over how it actually worked would cause the deaths of millions.
You had to admit that catholicism making cannibalism of their own God one of their main religious tenets is hard core as fuck.
But then they deny it’s cannibalism and pretend to be upset when other cultures do it. So pretty cringe.
Hypocrisy is another, not based, tenet of catholicism.
What the fuck happened to the tiny child, like did it grow up or was it just a child shaped solidified eucharist?
You know who that child grew up to be? Jesus Christ.
And everyone clapped!
