"To me and others it strongly appears that many of you are putting your faith into your Church rather than in Jesus Christ Himself."

I tell you this: if you really knew and understood, you'd hunger and thirst for the Blessed Sacrament to such an extent that you couldn't become a Catholic fast enough.

Do you think that idols cannot have a strong addictive appeal? Do you think that a thing meant by God for a good purpose cannot be turned into an idol? Catholics have made the sacrament into an idol. You have a very strong desire to worship a piece of bread and a cup of wine that is meant as a symbol of Christ's body broken for us and as a symbol of His blood shed for us and in His own words it's PURPOSE being to REMEMBER Him by.

A strong desire to worship an idol can be drummed up by the demons of false worship. Idol worshipers experience highly euphoric and seemingly spiritual highs. Remember the euphoria that people had when they worshiped Hitler and again will have multiplied when the people of the world worship the anti Christ? It is a euphoria that is extremely strong and extremely addicting. It is spiritual in nature and the worshiper thinks that they are worshiping a god. My point being that a strong desire towards an object or person that causes one to want to worship and gives the worshiper a seemingly spiritual "high" is experienced by all false worship that is backed by the evil one. So this experience is not the qualifier as to the authenticity thereof being truly inspired by The LORD God Almighty. That is why we must hold all experience up to The Word of God to know if it is authentically of God.

The answer that you gave, equating Christ and the worship of Him with the worship of the Eucharist plainly shows that it isn't the living person of Christ Himself, seated at the right hand of The Father that you believe in and worship but rather a piece of bread and a little bit of wine. Your soul is greatly feared for.

Numbers 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a fiery serpent, and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live.

2Kings 18:4 He removed the high places, and brake the images, and cut down the groves, and brake in pieces the brasen serpent that Moses had made: for unto those days the children of Israel did burn incense to it: and he called it Nehushtan.

(Nehushtan means a thing of brass. Meaning that what they had turned into a thing to be worshiped that The LORD had ordained for another reason was merely just and only a brass thing.)

I quote myself:

“I tell you this: if you really knew and understood, you’d hunger and thirst for the Blessed Sacrament to such an extent that you couldn’t become a Catholic fast enough.”

My answer is the same, and I am certain of it.
