eli5 how Catholics and Lutherans view the Eucharist differently?

446 viewsOther

I’m still so confused after reading the original sources. I think both Catholics and Lutherans take communion seriously as the real presence of Christ. But then how do they differ? Why do Catholics do adoration but Lutherans don’t?

Catholic: the elements literally turn into Christ’s blood and flesh.

Lutheran: the elements are both wine/bread and blood/flesh kind of in the same way that Christ is both fully man and fully God.
