Of course the Catholic Church cares about the inspired work, that’s why they assembled the Bible!! Good grief.
We agree that we don’t need to know, and should be able to understand His teaching. However, God is unknowable by His perfection, and thus man’s understanding of God will vary.
We do know Polycarp was a disciple of John, and trust and believe John faithfully transmitted his knowledge to Polycarp. Other reported Polycarp’s fastidious nature in doing exactly what the Apostles did and taught.
The short answer to all of this is simple. One group of Christians believe in Eucharistic Adoration, and other groups do not. Both believe Scripture supports their position. As it is a matter of religious principle, don’t expect either side to be swayed.
Personally, I don’t see the point in someone going on a religious thread predominated by an different belief and saying they are wrong. I just don’t get it.

There is no verse that teaches, models, commands nor demonstrates Eucharistic adoration. It is foreign to Scripture and was introduced as error crept into the church. Since only God opens eyes and hearts, I do not expect to persuade nor argue anyone into believing the Scriptures.

Perhaps this is an indication that caucus threads might be a better choice for you than open discussion threads?
Either way, I wish you blessing.
