Read the 15th chpter f Acts, read what ‘ seemed good to the Holy Spirit’ to avoid. Two of the namef things to avoid are central to Catholic sacramental worship. One of the hallmarks of your Eucharist is a direct disobedience to a command from The God.

IMHO and with respect you are 100% incorrect. But, that's okay. The Blessed Eucharist is CENTRAL to the Mass, which is the celebration of the Last Supper performed in the MASS for the last 2000 (minus 33) years. How could anyone NOT understand Jesus' command to His Apostles at the Last Supper: "Do this in remembrance of me"?
The Catholic Church has been around 2000 years and, if Jesus keeps His promise, will be around forever.

However, you are certainly entitled to your opinion. I do find it difficult to understand how you can possibly imagine that the Church Jesus' began was so erroneous. He wouldn't have made mistakes.
You wouldn't even HAVE a Bible unless it weren't for those ancient Catholics.
It took an excommunicated Catholic priest to begin the Protestant movement. And, if that movement were so true why are there 30,000+ DIFFERENT Protestant denominations? I kind of doubt that Father Martin Luther intended that. He HAD been a most brilliant theologian for the Church and was a good, holy man and priest.
Water under the bridge.

There is a program on T.V. called EWTN, [Started by the nun Mother Angelica.] the Eternal Word Television Network. They have a program called THE JOURNEY HOME. It's about people who have returned to the Catholic Church. It has all kinds of people on it and it's most interesting...for anyone.

Pax tibi. [Peace be with you.]

"The Blessed Eucharist is CENTRAL to the Mass, which is the celebration of the Last Supper performed in the MASS for the last 2000 (minus 33) years." You are mistaken, by conflating the Remembrance with the man-made false religion eating of the body, blood, soul and DIVINITY of Jesus at the Catholic altars. God forbade the eating of blood, in several places in the OT and even in the fifteenth chapter of Acts letter to the new Gentile believers. Have you missed the portion where James states and the letter confirms that it seemed Good to the HOLY SPIRIT to abstain form foods sacrificed to idols, and from blood, and from things strangled, and from sexcual immorality? The Catholic Eucharist is blasphemous and was not practiced by the Apostles.

Do what in remembrance of me?

Luk 22:16  For I say unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. 
Luk 22:17  And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said, Take this, and divide it among yourselves
Luk 22:18  For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
  Luk 22:19  And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me

Do what in remembrance of me?

1Co 11:23  For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread
1Co 11:24  And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me

Do what in remembrance of me?

1Co_11:25  After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

Do what in remembrance of me?

Break bread and eat it which represents Jesus' broken body on the Cross...And then,
pass around some 'fruit of the vine' and drink it in remembrance of Jesus' shed blood on the Cross...

Any thing beyond that is a fantasy made up by your religion to keep you under bondage to your religion...There is no priest calling Jesus down from heaven...Jesus does not turn into your Eucharist...There is no sacrifice made or offered up...

You wouldn't even HAVE a Bible unless it weren't for those ancient Catholics.

That's pure ignorance...Was Moses a Catholic, Isaiah???

The Catholic Church has been around 2000 years and, if Jesus keeps His promise, will be around forever.

It will be around til the end of the Tribulation when Jesus will obliterate it...
