Many years ago I found an article in the National Geographic magazine about a stone-age tribe of ex-cannibals in the New Guinean jungle, and the missionary—Father somebody-or-other—who was leading and discipling his flock into the Catholic fold. And the transubstantiation of the Eucharist was his Touchpoint for meeting these cannibals with the Gospel.
It raises a Protestant eyebrow, certainly, but God even made a donkey talk to bring his people into line once. Why *not* "long pig"?
