“Only an idiot “
there you have it, every Christian up until the 16th century was an idiot.
“Jesus died ONCE”
you seem like an expert in the Faith, how many times does the Church teach Jesus died?
"There should be no doubt in anyone's mind "that all the faithful ought to show to this most holy sacrament [wafer which allegedly has been transformed in to Christ's body] the worship which is DUE TO THE TRUE GOD, as has always been the custom of the Catholic Church. Nor is it to be adored any the less because it was instituted by Christ to be eaten." [quoting Trent]...he is to be ADORED there because he is SUBSTANTIALLY [physically] present there...WHOLE AND ENTIRE, GOD AND MAN...PERMANENTLY..through that conversion of bread and wine which, as the Council of Trent tells us, is most aptly named transubstantiation. ...in the Eucharist we become partakers of the Body and Blood of God's only Son...[and] the partaking of the Body and Blood of Christ has no less an effect than to CHANGE US INTO WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED.Vatican II. Austin Flannery, O.P.,gen ed., Vatican Council II: The Conciliar and Post Conciliar Documents, rev.ed. (Costello Publishing, 1988), vol. 1, pp. 104,107,109.
Just as a SMALL aside, where does the blood of Christ come from? When Christ came to His disciples on the resurrection evening they thought they were seeing a spirit. To prove He was alive, He said,"Handle me and see, for a spirit hath not FLESH AND BONES, as ye see Me have." NOT FLESH AND BLOOD. Luke 24:39. The one disciple not present was Thomas.
But when Christ returned a week later, He invited Thomas to "Reach hither thy hand and thrust it into my side, and be not faithless, but believing." (John 20:27). Did Thomas' hand come back all bloody after he thrust it into Christ's wound? No. The gaping hole into which Thomas could thrust his whole hand into is further evidence that there is NO BLOOD in Christ's body. So, where does the blood come from that the wine is "turned into"?

Nobody needs to be an expert to understand plain English.
Hebrews 9:11-12 11But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things that have come, then through the greater and more perfect tent ( not made with hands, that is, not of this creation) 12he entered once for all into the holy places, not by means of the blood of goats and calves but by means of his own blood, thus securing an eternal redemption.
Hebrews 9:24-28 24For Christ has entered, not into holy places made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf. 25Nor was it to offer himself repeatedly, as the high priest enters the holy places every year with blood not his own, 26for then he would have had to suffer repeatedly since the foundation of the world. But as it is, he has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself. 27And just as it is appointed for man to die once, and after that comes judgment, 28so Christ, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time, not to deal with sin but to save those who are eagerly waiting for him.
