Context of 1 Corinthians 11: Paul’s discussion of the Eucharist occurs in a corrective context, addressing abuses in the Corinthian community (1 Cor 11:17-22). His emphasis on “remembrance” and “proclaiming” does not exclude the Real Presence or salvific effect but focuses on proper participation. The subsequent warning about unworthy reception (1 Cor 11:27-29) confirms the Eucharist’s sacred and salvific nature, as it involves encountering Christ Himself.

23For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you,...

It's essential to understand this. Paul received this from the Lord. It's not his opinion. It's straight from the Lord Himself.

IF, as Rome claims, the Lord's Supper, as Paul calls it, is essential for salvation then either the Lord or Paul neglected to say that. And I know neither neglected that part.

It is Rome that's misunderstood this issue, much as the unbelieving Jews did.

Yeah this is just another anti Catholic screed. Usual charges. Gets boring.
My favorite is “don’t use Catholic answers”. Really?
How about this Protestants: don’t use the Bible. That’s ours. Our saints wrote the new testament, our Magisterium determined the canon and our priests preached using it and the divine Tradition of the Church.
Y’all just stole it, cut it up, screamed “MINE!” like children and then had the gall to try and tell us what it REALLY meant in your opinion.

I understand how Jesus tried to to teach the pharisees and they wouldn’t listen.

I keep learning about our Catholic faith in responding to some questions or comments.

I hope it helps some, but it is God’s hands to open their hearts.
