“On the rich young man, the disciples who walked away in John 6, the two can’t be compared. The young man understood but they didn’t.”

The comparison is the reaction of Jesus toward the above and the blind men not their reactions to his words. Why do I have to explain the obvious? “Mocking comment”??? Nonsense!

“They are similar to the Protestants objecting here. Catholics tell you the Eucharist is supernatural, it isn’t cannibalism and it gets ignored.”

As well it should be. I don't genuflect and kiss the ring of either here.

Two different situations, one understood and the other, the
disciples didn’t so you can’t compare them.
