There's no use going over every one of these disagreements because you are not likely to be convinced, given your entrenched Protestant perspective. Therefore we can agree to disagree. My only purpose in going toe-to-toe with you in the first place on the Eucharist was to disabuse you of the impression that somehow Catholics believe in things that are ridiculous and bizarre. In fact we believe what Jesus taught us to believe--and which the apostles believed and passed-down to us through the ages. The Church has retained these truths in its deposit of faith to this very day.

Right. Unconvinced. Ridiculous is not an appropriate word. But I do find many of these teachings bizarre. What you've described are man-made opinions using strained interpretations of scripture. You are out on a skinny limb.

All Churches have their teachings and are entitled to them. Just don't expect people to be convinced by your arguments since they appear quite weak to me. But what do I know? I'm no theologian and don't pretend to be one. In Christ, Peace.
