The idea of "projection" is introduced that ritual-murder accusations was projected onto the Jews of Eucharist. Christians practiced cannibalism during consumation of bread and wine which are substances of God's body and blood.

The dynamics of Christian community shaped the ritual-murder accusations. Economic status didn't really determine the accusations. Individuals in the Christian community practiced power over the Jews, and specifically the Jews they knew. Accusations between neighborhood reflected the dynamics of personal power. The pieces of stories people listened and experienced worked themselves into an image.
