How very interesting, a comment that speaks volumes about the twisted views of the Catholics herein!

I specifically sate (sic), "anti-Catholics" which identifies a group holding a specific set of views and the response ignores that fact and pretends I've attacked all Protestants.- rash

What you said speaks eternally! Your definition of Anti-Catholic is anybody that disagrees with your cult.

I am a member in good standing, in the oldest church in the world. It was started at the beginning of this world, and was made institutional in our HEARTS with the crucifixion, resurrection, and sending forth His Holy Spirit to dwell in His church.

God is Spirit, and those that worship Him must worship in spirit and truth. (John 4:24). He doesn't live in any gold plated temple... and certainly needs no elegantly dressed pretenders.

WE ARE ALL PRIESTS! (1 Peter 2: 4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but chosen by God and precious to him— 5 you also, like living stones, are being built into a spiritual house to be a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. ...

“Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.

I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?”

Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.

For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink

Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.

This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”

These things he said while teaching in the synagogue in Capernaum
Then many of his disciples who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?”

Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you?

What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
It is the spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are spirit and life.

But there are some of you who do not believe.” Jesus knew from the beginning the ones who would not believe and the one who would betray him.
And he said, “For this reason I have told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by my Father.”

As a result of this, many (of) his disciples returned to their former way of life and no longer accompanied him

Jesus then said to the Twelve, “Do you also want to leave?”

Simon Peter answered him, “Master, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.

We have come to believe and are convinced that you are the Holy One of God.”
Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you twelve? Yet is not one of you a devil?”

He was referring to Judas, son of Simon the Iscariot; it was he who would betray him, one of the Twelve.” [John 6: 49-71]

Another interesting comment.

First the commenter deliberately misstates what I said by changing words to suit their agenda and now we see this blatant example of mind reading.

People who cannot make a comment without resorting to distortions, outright lies, and mind reading aren't working for Christ.
