Arrhabonarii
The Arrhabonarii were a Polish Christian sect who held that the Eucharist was either the real flesh or blood of Jesus Christ as is believed by mainstream Catholics. Instead, the Arrhabonarii believed the Eucharist was a pledge of a gift to be bestowed in heaven.[1] The sect's name is derived from the Greek Ἀρραβων, Arrha, meaning "earnest".[2] The position was first argued by Francesco Stancaro in 1543.[1]
