In 4:25 of this video:
we can see decision named "Catholic Cannibalism". I wonder what that means. What do you think?

Maybe protestants were right about medieval catholics after all

Could be interesting.
There *is* a tenet that makes cannibalism a thing in your relgion, and Catholics are enjoined to "eat of my body, drink of my flesh" - whilst also being enjoined to "do unto others as you would do unto me".
Hm...

I'm not even Catholic, but that feels wrong, lol.
EDIT: I immediately thought about some weird and disturbing medieval-esque picture from "Attack on Titan" Season 2 credits.

Transsubstantiation?
It is a Catholic tenant that the host and wine literally become the body and blood of Christ when consumed during Eucharistic communion. And yes, it is dogma.

It's not that far-fetched. Communion has a very cannibalistic vibe to it, even though people don't like to think it as such.

Yeah but he's fully God and fully man, so it's not cannibalism, because if you thought it was cannibalism then you'd be an Arian for thinking Christ to not be fully divine
Would be kinda funny to make an equivalent decision for Jewish courtiers so they could then be accused of blood libel, one of the oldest forms of anti semitism
Really hoping that satanists are an option to turn off or on when reintroduced

It's kind of funny when you hear celebrities and other important people be accused of this stuff today.

You can customise religions ingame. Someone just had a lot of… “fun”.
Or some random world option.

It would be cannibalism though to "do unto man" what you would "do unto Christ", and start eating people in token of the commandment of the Last Supper.
And yes, it'd be heretical to mainstream Catholicism, but that's all part of the fun.

considering this realistic and "just a consequence of transubstantiation" is idiotic considering that transubstantiation is the belief that the bread and wine become Christ's body and blood in terms of inward characteristics and not outward; they remain to have the appearance of bread and wine. Taking this literally to say "I guess cannibalism is ok then" doesn't make any sense and I really hope Paradox didn't include some "wacky decision" to make cannibalism accepted based off of communion

I vaguely remember reading that a christian heresy with cannibalism will have some minor flavour regarding a misinterpration of the "Body of christ" stuff

I severely doubt a decision for *one* character would be able to have any such effect on the faith as a whole.
That would make no sense.
I can see a player making a spin off of Christianity that does this, but unless there are actual historical examples of such a cult we won't be seeing the AI doing this because they're limited to founding "historic" variations and heresies.
If the character's a zealous lunatic, perhaps there is a small chance that they try to set up a cannibalistic ceremony that mimics a mass. Even that though is unlikely.

There are so many examples of new heresies/sects/denominations that just took more literal interpretations of scriptures and dogmas, I don't think it is really that ridiculous. Obviously there is some innate taboo against cannibalism across most cultures, but it is always for spiritual/religious reasons that some cultures partake in it. I don't see how the eucharist -> cannibalism is so much bigger of a leap than the dual gods of Gnostic beliefs or reincarnation in Catharism.

If there are so many examples, surely you can cite an example of a Christian faith adopting literal cannibalism?
Because I certainly can't, despite all the wacky and crazy Christian sects over the centuries.
