Communion is between a man and his God, not between a man and his church.

Sorry, it's the Church which gives us Communion. The Church is the Mystical Body of Christ of which Jesus is the Head.

The two are inseparable.

Man’s doctrines and traditions did not impress Jesus (”teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” Mark 7:7) and do not impress me.

Our authority is Scripture not church doctrine ( 2 Timothy 3:16).

Jesus said of communion, “this do YOU as often as YOU take it” (1 Cor 11:23-26). Communion is between Christ and his disciples. No mention of a church being the go-between.

So show in Scripture where “the Church gives us Communion” and where the Catholic Church is inseparable from Christ.

Uh...no.

Do this in remembrance of Me. I believe Christ said that...not the roman catholic church.
