"So your faith isn't the same as Peter's? Peter knew all those things, but still drew his sword."

We have differing interpretations. I think the fact Peter drew his sword makes it pretty clear he still didn't "get it."

Maybe. He knew Jesus was the Son, He knew what the Scriptures foretold about His death. Again, you've stated that, essentially, as you see it, Catholics defending Christ in the Eucharist is in some way belittling to God, since He can defend Himself. This is true - however, when you defend the Good News against the forces arrayed against it today, whether secularism, moral relativism, or what-have-you, are you not defending Him?
