So, the choice is the Catholics.

Exactly! Like those who left Jesus who understood Jesus's Words as cannibalism - literally eating His flesh and blood.

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your forefathers ate manna and died, but he who feeds on this bread will live forever." Jesus is The Word, The Bread of Life.

On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?"

Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you?

"The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The Words I have spoken to you are Spirit and they are LIFE". I am The Way, The Truth, The LIFE.

"Yet there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray HIM". For they knew Him NOT.

"From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him". Couldn't accept Him because of their worldly thinking. The natural man cannot accept....

"Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, "Are you also going to leave?"

Simon Peter answered him, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of ETERNAL life".

Amen! Jesus is The Way, The Truth and The LIFE!. Jesus is The Word - the Spiritual - His Word is Holy Spirit inspired and spiritually discerned.

Worldly kingdom/man's thinking vs. HIS KINGDOM/Spiritual.

Was Christ Jesus NOT God INCARNATE? He was far more than spirit, He was God in the flesh. Remember the nail holes? Remember that Thomas felt those wounds in Christ's FLESH with his own flesh and blood hands?
