In lay terms, Roman Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Catholics, as well as some branches of the Anglican church, believe that Jesus is very literally present in the bread and wine consecrated by a priest (Eucharist) during mass. A few of the scripture passages the Church uses in defense of these beliefs are John 6:53-55, John 6:35-69, Luke 22:19-20.
