Oooh, hermeneutics. This is that Protestant hocus-pocus which means that we cannot possibly read the scripture in front of our eyes and understand it unless a Protestant pastor 'splains it for us.

No, Sir, the "body which will be delivered for you" is not referring to the Church. Was it the Church (you prefer, I know, "assembly") hanging from the Cross?

[Mr Rogers]

In 11:24, Paul refers to the bread as a remembrance and proclamation of the body of Christ. (”Do this in remembrance of me...you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”) He does NOT say it is the actual body of Christ - if it were, it would not be a remembrance, or a proclamation, but a re-presentation...and Paul says it is a remembrance & proclamation.

However, verses 27-34 returns to the subject of verses 17-22, and the theme carried from chapters 8-14: how we as a congregation should behave, since we are one body in Christ.

Hermeneutics. It is that Protestant hocus-pocus which means that you SHOULD read the scripture in front of your eyes before putting on your Catechism-Goggles.

"Oooh, hermeneutics. This is that Protestant hocus-pocus which means that we cannot possibly read the scripture in front of our eyes and understand it unless a Protestant pastor 'splains it for us."

Exactly. Hermeneutics is the Protestant version of the Catechism of the Catholic Church with all nothing committed to paper and kinds of situational loopholes built in.
