Thank you for those verses that confirm Catholic belief. <<<>>> Really? 53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day. 55 For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink. 56 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me, and I in them. 57 Just as the living Father sent me and I live because of the Father, so the one who feeds on me will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven. Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” 4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ Jesus is the Word which came from the mouth of God. Bread alone is not enough, just as it wasn't enough for the Jews wondering in the desert. Jesus is the Word and it is Jesus in the Eucharist that gives life. I don't need to delve deeply into what you linked as I have the plain word of Scripture to tell me all I need to know about the Eucharist.

Indeed, you must not delve deeply but maintain a very superficial view of Biblical language on eating if you texts maintain such must be literal. Which again, to be consistent in your literalism, means David poured out water made blood, and Jesus lived by eating the Father's flesh, and souls were dead until they consumed the corporeal body of Christ,
