The problem is with the Catholic church and its hierarchy—not its members, per se.

The non-biblical stuff the Catholic church says and does is extreme. For instance, veneration of any “saint” is not biblical, in any way.

Likewise, communion is symbolic of being that close to Jesus—not to be believed to be converted into actual blood or actual flesh, which I know you do not ingest.

Mat 15:16 “Don’t you understand yet?” Jesus asked.
Mat 15:17 “Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.

Your ignorance of actual Catholic teaching is breathtaking. If you can't bother to learn what Catholics really believe about such things--and not just the Jack Chick anti-Catholic caricatures-- you should keep your mouth shut.
