And when he had given thanks, he broke it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

The entire Catholic Eucharist is illegitimate...Not only do they not provide the cup of wine for the parisheners to drink, they pass out a wafer, a cookie, a biscuit...

The whole point of the communion is to 'break bread'...To break the bread, not to hand out something that dissolves on your tongue that you are not allowed to handle...

We are to break bread to remind us of Jesus Christ's broken body given on the Cross...Without the broken bread, the communion is worthless...

I do not disagree.
My point was what the verse says not that somehow a cracker becomes the flesh of Christ and the wine the blood......it is a remembrance not a literal.

What would you say it is worth WITH the broken bread?

Not only do they not provide the cup of wine for the parisheners to drink,...
FALSE! In my conservative parish the cup is offered at nearly every Mass.

To break the bread, not to hand out something that dissolves on your tongue that you are not allowed to handle...
False again. Communion in the hand is permitted and it sho' doesn't dissolve on my tongue.

knarf dixit:are we to sit back and at least not discuss AND argue the point ?

Discussion would be nice. Not a lot of it going on.
