Well--Well--Well ---- according to your Catholic Catechism, every Catholic is Christ and should therefore be qualified to say Mass and offer those unbloody mystical sacrifices, not just your priests, right???

Only according to a neophyte like yourself.

Here are a few more gems from Scripture that have obviously sailed over and/or through your grape.

"But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews indeed a stumblingblock, and unto the Gentiles foolishness: But unto them that are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God." 1 Corinthians 1:23-24

"And giving thanks, broke, and said: Take ye, and eat: this is my body, which shall be delivered for you: this do for the commemoration of me. In like manner also the chalice, after he had supped, saying: This chalice is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as often as you shall drink, for the commemoration of me. For as often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come." 1 Corinthians 11:25-27

"I am the bread of life. Your fathers did eat manna in the desert, and are dead. This is the bread which cometh down from heaven; that if any man eat of it, he may not die. I am the living bread which came down from heaven. If any man eat of this bread, he shall live for ever; and the bread that I will give, is my flesh, for the life of the world. The Jews therefore strove among themselves, saying: How can this man give us his flesh to eat? Then Jesus said to them: Amen, amen I say unto you: Except you eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, you shall not have life in you. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath everlasting life: and I will raise him up in the last day. For my flesh is meat indeed: and my blood is drink indeed. He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, abideth in me, and I in him. As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father; so he that eateth me, the same also shall live by me. This is the bread that came down from heaven. Not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. He that eateth this bread, shall live for ever. These things he said, teaching in the synagogue, in Capharnaum. Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: This saying is hard, and who can hear it? But Jesus, knowing in himself, that his disciples murmured at this, said to them: Doth this scandalize you? If then you shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth: the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I have spoken to you, are spirit and life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning, who they were that did not believe, and who he was, that would betray him. And he said: Therefore did I say to you, that no man can come to me, unless it be given him by my Father. After this many of his disciples went back; and walked no more with him." John 6:48-67

It's intuitively obvious to the most casual observer that had you been around for this, you and many of your "enlightened" brethren around here would have been those beating feet.

So, let's see: He broke the loaf of bread and they passed it around and they ate it. When was the last time you did that in your church???

Then after they ate the bread, they all supped together. When was the last time you did that in your church after the breaking of bread in your church???

And then after they had supped together, He passed the cup of wine [chalice] from which they all drank. When was the last time you did that after the supper and the breaking of bread??? And just when was the last time you drank from that chalice???

So since your church is not "Do(ing) This", for remembrance or otherwise, the way that Jesus did it on that night, how can it honestly claim to be doing so, much less getting some kind of unsubstantiated Aristotelian transubstantiation thereof???
