eli5 how Catholics and Lutherans view the Eucharist differently?

456 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?

The Catholics believe that the bread and wine turn into the literal body and blood of Christ.

Lutherans believe that doesn’t happen, but Jesus does have areal presence in the bread and wine.

Basically, Catholics believe the presence is more physical, Lutherans believe it to be more spiritual.
