This metaphor getting skewed like the eat my flesh and drink my blood metaphor(Lords table) getting skewed all out of shape..

Whose interpretation of Jesus's "This is my body" is authoritative?

The metaphor of eat my flesh, drink my blood is obvious.. it takes magisterium power to transform it into the literal.. and then make it "SILLY".. But not only silly it takes the metaphor and makes it "like" a rite from the religion worshiping Isis and Horus from the Egyptian Delta.. You know the religion with Isis(Queen of Heaven) and her perpetually infant son(Horus).. They(believers) consumed a missa(small bread) with wine also..

The Romans were always known for NOT Rejecting a foreigners God BUT including them, among their own Gods, or morphing them in with additions(except for the Jews God that is).. A practice used many times and in many ways after the Emperor Constantine made every Roman pagan a christian overnight or tried to..
