Yup this is more or less comprehensive in that it goes more than
wafer and drink, but becomes the real elements.
Have u heard abt the Eucharistic Miracle? here's the link

I'm not using this to push forward my point, instead i think it's
an interesting read
Yes they are, not excessively. i know it's a weak
arguement.
I cannot speak on behalf of all Catholics. I will describe my
own experience.
I believe fevourly in the sacraments. Since we are on the topic of
the Eucharist, i'll share with you mine. Everytime i go to church,
i try to sit as front as possible as the Priest conduct Mass. When
he breaks the bread, to me it's one of the most wonderful sights in
the world, i always feel so humbled that Christ died and instituted
this Sacrament for me to be in communion with him. Also in Mass, u
do not just congregate with Catholics, it's a place where the
living, dead and saints all congregate together and i cannot help
but feel comforted that my grandparents are there too.
Remember my girl friend that was from CCC, she nv understood my
strong passion for the Eucharist, till after her Baptism, while she
was kneeling down and she saw the Priest break the Bread, she told
me she almost cried.
I sincerely feel that sacraments are 1 thing that the Protestant
church misses out on. It's something so wonderful, i cannot put it
in words, it must be experienced
this i have no idea.
Anyway MC, i would like to stress that most Catholics do not really
understand the sacraments and are misinformed. We're also not a
perfect bunch, comprising mostly of Sunday Catholic. That's why we
keep praying that we'll all be able to grow strongly in our
faith
