Interesting. So what am I to do? We’ve established I cannot take communion in the Catholic Church. I’ve had communion before when I was a Baptist, and I’m not sure Christ meant that we needed to perform the rite all the time.
Here is the summation of the Catholic Gospel... The Church is the Bride of Christ.
What are you then to do? Conform yourself to the teachings of the Church regarding her Bridegroom.
Fundamentally, the whole argument comes down to one of authority. For many Protestants, they see the Bible as the ultimate authority neglecting to note that there was no New Testament Bible for the early Church. The early Church had the traditions they brought with them (2 Thess 3:6). God has not been silent for the last 2000 years, He has been guiding His Church as Jesus promised (John 14:16). The Apostles weren't a bunch of splinter cells, they were one Church with one Gospel who gathered together to iron out disputes (Acts 15). This is the model we follow and it is far more Biblical than the alternatives.
