belief about the eucharist - 1, point

Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. they view it as a Jesus being truly there, rather than a symbol

belief about the eucharist - 1, explain

this happens through transubstiantion which is when the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Jesus.

belief about the eucharist - 2, point

The Eucharist is considered the summit of a Christian's life

belief about the eucharist - 2, explain

This shows that the Eucharist is more than a ritual, it's the highest point of the Christian journey. The opening prayer, called the "collect," gathers everyone's prayers, showing our unity with Christ and each other.

This helps guide Catholics on how full devotion to God comes before anything else. It means putting God first in everything that we do, making him the centre of our lives. without a relationship with God, we cannot live out a good Catholic life.

commandments 4 to 10 such as honouring your parents, do not kill, do not steal, do not bare false witness, do not covet your neighbours wife and do not covet your neighbours goods, all teach us how to respect others, “love your neighbour as yourself.”

the decalogue is the only way to live a good catholic life - for, 2, explain

these commandments teach Catholics how to live in harmony with each other. Just as God forgives, values and cares for us, we are made to do the same. By showing love to people around us, it reflects on God’s example of loving one another.

This teaches us to support policies that protect the environment, we help build a society where no one is left behind.

conclusion

in my opinion, i disagree with this statement because although the decalogue is a good foundation for how to live a good Catholic life, i personally do not believe that it is the ONLY way, as there are several other teachings that help guide us, such as Catholic Social Teachings.
