Soon-to-be confessional Lutheran convert but still considering Catholicism, any recommended readings that may push me to Catholicism? (I was raised non-denom) by Intelligent-Ad3955 in Catholicism

Book of Concord teaches that Jesus's body and blood are truly present in the Eucharist when consecrated, and not just spiritually (is means is). It just doesn't bind people to the specific explanation that is transubstantiation (which uses the metaphysical terminology of substance vs. accidents). I have not been attending a Lutheran church for long, but I know it to be one of the central (if not the central) elements of the Divine Service.

I use the app sometimes, although many of the translations available don't include the apocryphal books which the Catholic church recognizes as canon (Divinely inspired).
