[ 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. ]

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..

***The (roman)”catholic” Eucharist mocks Christ by taking his metaphor and making it literal..***

Are you saying that the Apostles and all the Church for the first 1500 years of its existence mocked Christ? And that the first ones who had a clue were the very ones who assumed religious titles in their own created churches?

***Most of the “Apostles” missed many/some of his metaphors anyway.***

So how do you arrive at the fact that these incapable, incompetent and mocking indivuals and their successors were able to put together Christian Scripture in an infallible fashion?

Let’s see if I can recap some of hosepope’s theology:

The Apostles were nincompoops and weren’t worth a tinker’s damn in the whole scheme of things.

Every single member of the Church including the Apostles mocked Jesus at frequent opportunities.

I probably am missing some nuggets of fools gold in there. Could you enlighten me please?
