No, Communion is not cannibalism. Catholics do believe that the Eucharist is truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ. The cannibalism objection is not new.

“You shall not murder” — Exodus 20:13, NIV This short commandment teaches that every human life is precious to God, and that no one has the right to take an innocent life.
“Honor your father and your mother, so that you may live long in the land the Lord your God is giving you” — Exodus 20:12, NIV God calls us to respect and care for our parents at every stage of life, and He attaches a promise to that command.
