You believe the power of “your own” interpretation of God's word is greater than Christ Himself fully present in the Eucharist.
The Eucharist is the same Christ full present in Bodily form who was born Mary,who performed miracles and who is the second person of the Holy Trinity.
Your Bible is not the original scriptures and has been translated incorrectly in many cases to suit a protestant interpretation.
Any interpretation of the Bible you try and use to attack the Sacraments goes against consistent historical teachings for over 2000 years from the Martyr's and the Saints without whom there would not have been a canon of the Bible.
You have your Bible with no unity and no historical interpretations of scriptures.
In fact,Dear brother, the protestant reformation broke unity with each other almost immediately after it began which PROVES that it was not of God.Personal interpretation of scripture is the main reason for disunity amongst Christians. That itself ought to tell you that solo Scripture is bogus
If Christianity was supposed to be solo Scripture than you need to ask yourself why the reformed God was not powerful enough to preserve the originals.
I love scriptures as well.fk,but I also love and trust the Saints and the Church because they gave witness to them and everything they did centered around Our Eucharistic Lord present in the most Holy Sacrament of love.
Ah, but they will tell you it's because God has a "plan."
The theology behind the Eucharist is an invention of man. The Bible is the work of God. I have no trouble putting one over the other.
The Eucharist is the same Christ full present in Bodily form who was born Mary,who performed miracles and who is the second person of the Holy Trinity.
If it's the same Christ, then why aren't you literally vampiric cannibals? :) Jesus was not literally present in the bread and wine at the Last Supper, He was just literally present.

While I haven't read all of the NAB, from the many excerpts that have been posted to me, I don't see it saving Catholic theology in general terms. That is, even using the NAB, Catholic theology doesn't match the Bible.

Your point appears to be that if error is practiced long enough then it becomes true. :) The OT disagrees.
You have your Bible with no unity and no historical interpretations of scriptures.
No unity with what? Historical INTERPRETATIONS do not get better with age. They are either correct or incorrect based on the totality of scriptures, the standard I use.
In fact,Dear brother, the protestant reformation broke unity with each other almost immediately after it began which PROVES that it was not of God.
You emphasize relatively minor differences which are to be expected when the subjugated become free. While denominations did form, the Bible-believing Christian movement was very reasonably theologically in sync. In general, we were all protesting the same things.
Personal interpretation of scripture is the main reason for disunity amongst Christians.
I have found that your side defines "personal interpretation" as anything that disagrees with you. If I used the same definition, then your interpretations are no less personal than mine. You just blindly follow other persons. We follow the Holy Spirit in His lifelong plan for our sanctification. Of course none of us is right about everything, but of course neither is your Church.
That itself ought to tell you that solo Scripture is bogus.
Sola Scriptura does not hold that everyone interprets identically. It holds that the Bible is the sole authority of faith. Your side holds, in true effect, that the Church is the sole authority of faith, yet, I know that not all Catholics interpret identically.
If Christianity was supposed to be solo Scripture than you need to ask yourself why the reformed God was not powerful enough to preserve the originals.
Well, I could ask you that if Christianity was supposed to be invested all in your Church, then why was the Catholic God not powerful enough to protect our children. I don't think we want to go there. :)
