So you arrogate to yourself the “authority” to interpret Scripture? Like Rev. Al Sharpton? Interesting, is it not it that the all the great theologians according to lights from St. Thomas Aquinas, Augustine, and Benedict XVI (whom Time magazine called the “theological Einstein of our times”) are all fools? (I assume you haven’t read any of their books) .The great Anglican theological (now Cardinal Newman) converted to Catholicism, as did the Chief Rabbi of Rome, to say nothing of Richard Neuhaus who was America’s preeminent Lutheran theologian.

The curse and evil of Protestantism is best described in Hillaire Belloc’s book “Heresies” where he says that unlike other heretical beliefs, Protestantism spawned a “cluster of heresies.”

Somewhere along the way, the Catholic Church became a religion, with all sorts of fancy trappings, and the priests overall apparently followed themselves and adopted reason over committing to total surrender to the Lord. Religion is what reacted with moral outrage to the Satanic black mass. And on the Body and Blood of the Lord, although He was physically at the first Communion, He did not give His disciples from His body, but of bread and wine. Now if it were said about any other person, that they’ve given their body and blood to be consumed by other people, that would actually mean eating of the person’s body and drinking his blood. So since that’s not what happened, then what happened?
