Somebody is leading you somewhere, that's for sure.
Jesus left the mechanism of the forgiveness of sins in the hands of trained men. If you reject that, are you rejecting the forgiveness of your own sins?
Jesus commanded us to eat His Body and drink His Blood. Are you following his command?
Jesus gave us the Beatitudes. Do you practice them?
Jesus knelt in prayer before the Father. Do you?
Jesus gave us Mary while on the Cross - Mother, behold, your son. Son, behold your mother - do you reject this too?
Jesus fasted. Do you?
Jesus left us His Church in the hands of those trained men. Do you accept and follow Her?
So, just like receiving the password and grip of a secret society, you're in like Flint? Poof. Except that you don't really have to conform to any rules except those you choose to follow and in the manner you choose to follow them?
Geez, you guys are like wannabe Johnny Cochranes or F. Lee Baileys. Always looking for an angle or a new twist on things. Just give it up, and swim the Tiber. It's getting cleaner every year. :)
It would never, ever have crossed my mind to refer to Christ's blood as a mere "mechanism...in the hands of trained men". Such a statement is as offensive to me as others claim my post #88 was to them. But not to worry! IMO Christ can (and has) forgiven any offensive parts found in both.
