Pure protestant bs.
Unless you’re the “protestant” — protesting against the scriptures.
>The Last Supper was instructions on future practice to memorialize an event about to take place.

No. Its actually Catholic Theology that the Last Supper wasn’t the actual Eucharist. That’s what is meant by the word “institution.”
“the new Passover, is anticipated in the Last Supper and celebrated in the Eucharist”
Cf. Catholic Church, Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd Ed. (Washington, DC: United States Catholic Conference, 2000), 885.
The Eucharist is a commemoration of Calvary not the “Last Supper.” Purely in the sense that the Last Supper is an institution, but it is an institution of a future event not the direct object memorialized. What is memorialized is the moment of Calvary, the resurrection, and ascension of Christ.
That’s why the words “Misterium Fidei,” are invoked right after the institution narrative. Then the words “Mortem Tuam, annuntiamus Domine, et tuam resurrectionem confitemor, donec venias.”
Which in the Mass Translates roughly as we know it. “Christ has died. Christ is risen Christ will come again.”
The whole point of that prayer is to express wonder at the Eucharist which draws us into the those mysteries.
The Eucharist is not “The Last Supper” when Jesus was with the Apostles. That event was the institution, not the reality which hadn’t happened yet.
Proving yet again it is often the Roman Catholic who first resorts to profanity and/or the personal attack when the argument is against you.
Or impure?
Neither Rome or Prots have it right.
Of course. What else could it have been?
