Annulment for Convalidation
- If you're Catholic and marrying a divorced Methodist, the Methodist marriage must be annulled.
- This confirms freedom to marry in accordance with Catholic teaching.
Transubstantiation
- Transubstantiation means the bread and wine become Jesus' real body and blood, not just symbolically.
- This is based on Jesus' words and the parallel between the Eucharist and the miraculous manna.
James, the Lord's Brother
- James, "the Lord's brother," in Galatians may be an apostle, supporting Mary's perpetual virginity.
- Even if not, "brother" can have broader meanings, requiring further biblical evidence.
