[.. I pointed out that this was a question-begging non sequitur, and so my original question regarding who has the authoritative interpretation of "This is my body" remains unanswered. Right now it looks like your answer (effectively) is: "Me and anyone who agrees with me. ..]

Yes.. As do you.. The observer follows what he observes. The answers to many questions are qualia driven.. An observers vista can be limited.. Thats why the Holy Spirit allows heretics.. but dogma identifies them.. Jesus spoke mainly in metaphor, eating his body and drinking his blood, was just one of them.. What you see as non sequiter isn't.. Maybe you have a blind spot..

What you see as non sequiter isn't..

Sorry, but it is a non sequitur. Here's your argument:

(1) YOU are a slave to Roman Catholic dogma.. at least some of it

Therefore:

(2) My Holy Spirit leading is superior to yours.

Since (2) does not logically follow from (1) therefore the conclusion is a non sequitur.
