BTW--the parallel between the disciples bailing after Christ's announcement of 'eating His flesh' and the disciples bailing after Humanae Vitae is really too obvious for me to bring to your attention, is it not, Deacon? You draw an equivalency that I don't accept.
Christ didn't appoint a papal commission to study the institution of the Eucharist, as John XXIII and Paul VI did with birth control, thus instilling in the mind of the faithful the idea that contraception might be subject to revision.

thus instilling in the mind of the faithful the idea that contraception might be subject to revision. Sinky--my analogy holds. Your objection is a smokescreen.
Inter alia, those who actually thought that the constant teaching of the Church would be derogated or abrogated consisted of only a very few activists--people who were and remain suspects. Charlie Curran is an excellent example.
