Using catholic Magic Thinking, they will shift the scene on you, trying to take you away from what is an embarrassment to their heresy, over tot he legitimate scene the night before He went tot he Cross. But if you press the point of the Passover, they will immediately shift back to the specious reference from the year before. You can tell them that Jesus was using sarcasm to winnow the weak ones who would not be ‘down for the struggle’, but that only shifts their magic thinking to ‘do whatever he says, just do it.’ It is a lesson in what I’ve dubbed selective literalism. It is like jello and nails and walls, but only the Holy Spirit can break through the darkness with a flicker of Truth’s Light. And lest we forget, that is exactly why He command us to be about the family business, proclaiming the Gospel of His Grace offered to us in Jesus Christ.

Speaking of emabarrassment, when I was a catholic, the thing that embarrassed me the most, was holy water. I couldn't think of anything more embarrassing than that 😇
