Jesus told us to break the bread...Why??? So we could constantly break his body into pieces??? Of course not...So that we could remember that his body was broken for us...

Did Jesus tell us to nail the wafer to a cross??? Nope...Did Jesus tells us to bury the wafer??? Nope...Has God told people to eat other things that were not edible??? Tons of times...Did those people eat those things??? Of course not...

Discussing CATHOLIC beliefs about the Eucharist might be interesting. Discussing your psychotic hallucinations is not.

So discuss them (instead of posting a link to a thousand page book you call your catechism)...

Well, let's do that. Catholic documentation claims the the priest offers the sacrifice of Christ and that the people "participate" and "offer the Divine Victim to God". Throughout scripture both in the Old Testament and the New Testament there was only one person who was authorized to enter the Holy of Holys and to offer the sacrifice and that was the High Priest. Jesus is that High Priest and He entered "once for all".

Hebrews 9:12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.

The arrogance of the Catholic Church to presume to take the place of the Hight Priest is blasphemy. To claim that both a common priest and even the people "participate" in the immolation/sacrifice of Christ is contrary to both the Old Testament and the New Testament. Saul tried it and it didn't turn out well for him either.
