Why doesn't the Catholic church serve BOTH elements of communion to its adherents as Christ did with His disciples and commanded us to take both the bread and the cup? The cup has been offered for some time. Prior to that there was a highly specialized Catholic Dictionary definition that both elements were present in the host.

I had heard that to be the case but the only RCC services I’ve been to in recent years are funerals for family and I did not have the presence of mind at the time to notice or care much about whether communion was served and how.

The entire Christ (the current phrase is, "body, blood, soul and divinity") is in both elements.
