Pope said other churches are "defective", is he right?

[GuidoHunter]

And the reasons you've listed are hardly proof. You only stated that no transubstantiation occurred, and listed two old testament verses, one which has nothing to do with what you claimed it said. These logical leaps you're taking can't be considered evidence to refute such a longstanding principle.

I can just as easily claim that a figurative interpretation isn't scriptural.

http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05573a.htm is the Catholic Encyclopedia's entry for the Real Presence, and the first paragraph also has some points about the language and word choices used, if you want another source.
