cannibalistic literalism

I'll stick with the inerrant Bible and not your dirty fantasies about it, thank you.

To be consistent with the literalism insisted upon in Jn. 6:53,54, one must be baptized and then believe and partake of the RP. But V2 affirms properly baptized Prots have.

But you must be. The point is that Christ explains that He is in the Eucharist and we must eat of Him as "food indeed" to have life eternal. What stages one goes through before he gets to eat Him are another matter; yes, there are people who never get to go the whole way, invincibly. Because of the damage to Christianity wrought by Luther, great many are in that intermediate stage, and may yet be saved.

this "Verily verily" saying is an absolute statement

Right. So take it as such; it is written for you to read.

John uses metaphors abundantly

But not in this passage. Verily.

That is all I see of substance in your post, even though it is much longer than the response. I repeat: read the Holy Scripture honestly, especially now that you had left the Holy Church still intending to somehow get saved.

I don’t see anything meaningful here. Just more cultic examples of resorting to bare assertions needed to support a church-god.

I repeat: doctrinally you cannot read the Holy Scripture honestly, objectively in order to ascertain the veracity of RC teaching, and instead we have trust in an overall dead church still intending to somehow get saved thru it.

MAry is dead; awaiting the Last Trump.

She is NOT in Heaven being Christ's executive secretary.
