In relation to the process of digestion, the Catholic Church’s teaching has been expressed in this way: “The substance of Christ’s body is not subject to processes of digestion or to any chemical reactions. The qualities of bread of course behave in their normal way, undergoing a change as they are affected by digestion. Our Lord’s substantial presence ceases as these qualities cease to retain those characteristics proper to bread.”
“The Sacrament of the Eucharist is the body and blood of Christ really present under the appearances of bread and wine; if the appearances cease to be present, then the sacrament no longer exists, and so the Real Presence ceases.”
“The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist. Christ is present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and entire in each of their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide Christ.”

You just wait. Come Vatican III, my homeopathic infini-wine will be an accepted, nay, mandated part of Catholic mass. They’re always saying to be more like Jesus, and what’s more Jes-ish than duplicating food to feed the masses?
Watch out, you’re straying close to heresy.

And are they considered bread or meat? Or both, allowing for the world’s most compact and efficient sandwich?
I’m a jesustarian. The only meat I eat is Jesus Christ

It’s straight to Hell for you, no Purgatory.
