Catholics don’t worship loaves of bread either. They recognize Christ in the consecrated host, as St. Paul teaches, the words they utter are the same St. Thomas uttered recognizing Christ, and consecrated bread is what was left the Apostles at Emmaus after they asked Christ to stay with them.

I fully expect you to have some convoluted interpretation of your own of the scripture I quoted, but to be unaware of the Catholic explanation for it after 25 years of study is odd.

I am not unaware of it.

I just find it to be without Scriptural support.

“... and consecrated bread is what was left the Apostles at Emmaus after they asked Christ to stay with them.”

Now there’s some poor exegesis.
