Essentially, the most fitting word that comes to mind regarding that post is:

NONSENSE.

That one Scripture about:

FREELY YOU HAVE RECEIVED, FREELY GIVE

scuttles the whole notion of any human organization or any finite human group having a monopoly on what Christ shed His Precious Blood to scatter abroad so utterly freely:

WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME.

It was not written:

Whosoever will who goes to the right human organization; marches in step with all the traditions, rituals, edicts, encyclicals, pontifications, rules, policies, dogma . . . of a certain finite human organization . . . who kowtow to the hierarchy in fitting contrition and submission; who jump through all the RELIGIOUS hoops . . . .

those and only those whosoevers may come to the gilded edifice and receive our pontifical, lofty, exclusive, monopolistic sanctions, our human authorized Salvation.

WE AND WE ALONE ARE THE EXCLUSIVE GATE KEEPERS BACK TO GOD. Deposit your coins appropriately.

No way Hosea! Not by a long shot.

I have a project for you dear Brother.
Prove to all of us that the Eucharist is not Jesus truly present?
