Transubstantiation

I heard this story on NPR this morning about Wikipedia. It turns 10 years old today. And the reporter went around to random people and asked them what they had learned by going on to Wikipedia. One guy said that he looked up transubstantiation on Wikipedia, and once he read about it he believed in it, and once you believe in it, there is no other way to go than the Catholic church. So, not so indirectly, this man said, I'm a Catholic because of Wikipedia.

I'm wanting to make a documentary with religion as a major focus, and I don't really know what transubstantiation is. I'm pretty sure it's the belief that the sacraments of wine and bread are transformed through the power of God into the actual flesh and blood of Jesus. I think.

There's so much for me to know. I just gotta start and let the fear be there. But letting the fear stop me means that somebody else gets to do my idea. And they won't do it the way that I think it should be done, if for no other reason than it won't be me doing my idea.
