I've just turned 35, and was raised as a Catholic, doing everything that came with it - First Communion, Confirmation, and a whole lot of lessons both at school and church. And yet - until fairly recently, I NEVER realized that they REALLY meant that the host becomes the body of Christ. I thought it was all symbolic. My boyfriend, who is Church of England, had a very hard time convincing me of it. Well, although I had't really believed in any god for a long time, that certainly did it for me.
