I tend to trust that what the Gospels say about man’s approach to God. If there’s a practice that’s not there, I tend to distrust the need and sanctity of that practice
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++So You accept the Luke Gospels and the Hail Mary Prayer, derived from it..Good!
You Also accept The Eucharist that is Portrayed by the writings of the Last Supper and reiterated in the writings of the Cruxifixions. The Body and Blood in a Mass are Actually Christ!
You then Accept the Mass because the Liturgy is derived from the Bible..and the Rites are spoken by GOD to His People complete with Incense Altar Offering Table where the Lamb is Replaced by his son and Offered in the Catholic Mass everyday around the world!
Oh Yeah and that Bible you quote was Maintained by Catholics for generations.. and No where does it Say Solo Fe nor Sola Scriptura...but that is your basis for belief! go Figure... Jesus Christ forms a 2000 + year old church and Man thinks he knows better on how to obtain Salvation...Go Figure!

If there were to be so, Jesus would have actually sliced off a hunk of flesh and drained some of His blood for the disciples. He was there; they were there. The act is symbolic. Do a biological range of tests on your Eucharist.
While Catholics may have a tradition or two that isn't in the written scriptures, they sure as hell better not contradict the scriptures, many of which do.
Methinks, by your writing, you are much too invested in the con to hear anything to the contrary.
Sorry.
