Your eucharistic theology.
You scored as Martin Luther.
You’ll stick with the words of Scripture, and defend this with earthy expressions. You believe in an orthodox Christology. You believe that the bread and wine are the Body and Blood of Christ, but aren’t too sure about where he goes after the meal, and so you don’t accept reservation of the Blessed Sacrament or Eucharistic devotions.

Eucharistic theology

Everyone makes a big deal about how Martin Luther was a sola scriptura kind of guy, but they forget his most famous statement:
Unless I am convinced by scripture and plain reason (I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other) my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen.
In that statement from the Diet of Worms, Luther gave three sources of his theology:
- Scripture.
- Plain reason.
- Conscience.
He might have coined the term “sola scriptura,” and he might even have believed that his reason and conscience had fully conformed to it. In that, he was fooling himself. No one’s theology comes from scripture alone. If that were true, we wouldn’t have so many contradictory theologies—Luther’s main complaint against the church. In fact we’d have no theologies. We couldn’t use reason to determine which of the things in the scriptures must be applied to our lives; we couldn’t use conscience to recognize the difference between truly applying the scriptures and manipulating the text to fit our selfish lives.
As I remind people all the time, postmodernism isn’t a recent worldview. It was always there, if repressed.
Yes I know the result is Luther, not Luthor. Laugh with me!
