Fr. Mitch Pacwa clears up caller's confusion about the Holy Eucharist.

He did no such thing...He doesn't know what he's talking about...He claimed Jesus drank the drink of Mat 26:29 while on the Cross...Apparently it was the vinegar this guy is trying to pass off due to an inability to accurately respond to the question the Protestant ask him...Here's the verse...Just tell you guys any thing...You'll believe any thing...

Mat_26:29 But I say unto you, I will not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom.

Did Jesus drink vinegar with the disciples on the Cross??? Of course not...This priest doesn't have a clue but yet you guys put him out there like he's some sort of authority...

And sadly you guys believe him because you obviously don't bother to check the scriptures to see if he is telling the truth...And he isn't...

=============================================================

The confusion exhibited in your post seems to emanate from the fact that you try to take every single word in the Bible in a literal way.

When you see that "Luke 23:46" says

Then Jesus, crying with a loud voice, said, “Father, into thy hands I commit my spirit!” And having said this he breathed his last.
while "John 19:30" says
When Jesus had received the vinegar, he said, “It is finished”; and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.
using the kind of flimsy logic displayed in your post about the literal words contained in those two Bible texts, you would have to say that either Luke or John were lying about the last earthly words of Jesus Christ on the cross.   However, the truth is way beyond that kind of simplistic, faulty reasoning.    You have to go beyond that erroneous "literal" obsession, in order to get to the truth.

Now if you want to get farther and more deeply into the truth which Fr. Mitch briefly explained in his answer to that caller, I urge you (and all interested lurkers) to listen to the complete fuller explanation given by Scott Hahn in the audio at the following link:

   "The Fourth Cup"

(By the way, did you notice how John says there in his Gospel that Jesus had received the "vinegar" (a type of wine back then)?
