I take communion. It is what it is.
Do you wash anyone's feet as was commanded at the last supper?
The Catholic church doesn't do that as part of the communion service either. Talk about inane.
The rest of the argument to justify the Church's disobedience to the clear instructions of Christ is nothing but rationalization and justification, which goes to show that it can excuse anything and that there is nothing, no matter how outlandish or outrageous or disobedient, that some Catholics will not condemn as long as the church hierarchy decides it.
"Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. - John 13:14-15
The washing of feet is done every year at the Holy Thursday Mass. You seem pretty casual about disobeying that command.
(Whatever it is you take, it isn't Communion)
Peace be with you
