Still, the parallels between this ceremony and the ceremonies of actual cannibals are hard to ignore. Just as consuming Christ's body and blood in this ceremony, the Wari tribesman of Brazil ritualistically cut into small pieces the corpses of their most loved family members so that many be one with their animal essence and carry them with them forever (Coffey, 2010)
Gustavo Zerbino was on a chartered plane which crash landed in the Andes mountain range in 1972. It took 72 days for rescue services to find him and his few surviving team-mates by which point forced into desperate measures of cannibalism to keep alive (Myall, 2015)
Christian denominations such as the Catholic order truly believe that the sacrament is actually the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ. Catholics argue that this is not technically cannibalism however because although the believe Christ is present in the sacrament, it is not exactly Christ's actual flesh that they are consuming (Staples, 2014)
