Now I ask that you drop this inane line of argument because the longer it goes the more foolish and vindictive you appear. Remember, this is not about who is right, it is about what is right. I stopped responding to this for the same reason and because it's the same Christ in both the consecrated bread and wine,it's not two separate Sacraments .Thus the commandment is fulfilled when Catholic/Orthodox receive Christ in either - we still receive The Body, Blood Soul and Divinity Of Christ.

The bread remembers the body.
The cup remembers the blood.
Jesus distinguished between the two and commanded that both be partaken of.
Nobody has any right or authority to change what Jesus commanded.

Eat the bread. Drink the cup.
The bread recognizes the broken body. The cup recognizes the shed blood.
Two distinct parts of the Last Supper by Jesus' teaching and instruction.
Sheesh, whatever happened to taking what Jesus said literally?
