***So I understand the logic of the hand me downs.. but I don;t like the concept of it..***

It is what the Church of Jesus tells us.

We take the view that it doesn’t matter if we like it or not. We may not like the concept of worshipping God in the Eucharist once a week or more since it gets us out of our warm beds on Sundays, yet there it is.

We may take the view that fasting on Church-directed days is not likeable; we may take any view we wish. But if it does not come from the authority of Jesus, then it is not so. If it does, then it is so.

The (roman)"catholic" Eucharist mocks Christ by taking his metaphor and making it literal.. The message is morphed into a cartoon.. He didnt nickname Cephas "a rock"(Petros/Peter) he talked of a spiritual building.. made of rock(s) with him as the chief cornerstone..

Most of the "Apostles" missed many/some of his metaphors anyway.. After all they were called when illiterate or barely literate teenagers anyway.. Even today most of Jesus metaphors are missed.. not just the bread and wine.. Making them literal occludes them.. But then thats as planned.. You know by Jesus.. Quite a beautiful plan really..
