>>Six times he tells us to eat his body and drink his blood.

And where exactly does He assign the dominion of distributing that to those who’ve assumed it?

I don’t understand the question. He founded His Church on Peter and then we have Apostolic succession.

At the Last Supper, obviously, and then that authority was propagated on to the bishops. You remember bishops, right ... they're the overseers Paul says he appointed "in every town" ... the same ones of whom Ignatius of Antioch wrote 50 years later, when he wrote that to celebrate the Eucharist apart from the authority of the bishop was like worshipping the devil. Remember that?
