>>Then why did the Apostles continue the Mass and the Eucharist and give the “Body and Blood of Jesus” to Catholics.<<

The apostles knew it was not the physical body and blood just as the Jews understood that the Seder lamb was not the physical original lamb of Passover. The apostles understood that it was a spiritual remembrance rather than a physical presence.

>>So you do not see any difference between the “Body and Blood” of Jesus and animal blood?<<

The blood of all sacrifices was to be "spilled on the ground" as it was when Jesus was sacrificed on the cross. Commanded never to be eaten or drank.

>>You say that Jesus is a sinner based on the Last Supper and that Jesus and the Apostles consumed His Body and Blood.<<

Especially for Jesus and the apostles as they were still under the old law at that time.

Your personal opinion. It is not true.

That has never been Christ’s statement or the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Do you just reject the Catholic Church as you can not properly receive Holy Communion from the Catholic Church unless you are a baptized Catholic?
