You were doing fine, until you referenced flatly unscriptural “facts” as established objective doctrine, reversed the relation of symbolism vs substance (crucifixion was the substance, not the symbol; communion is the symbol, not the substance), revealed the thread as bait to attack Protestants, declared your own understanding perfect, and descended into full-on snark while declaring it not (unprompted).
And yet it is the established doctrine. I merely presented it.
... reversed the relation of symbolism vs substance (crucifixion was the substance, not the symbol; communion is the symbol, not the substance),
...I never said crucifixion was a symbol. However, you have said that Communion is. It is not.
... revealed the thread as bait to attack Protestants,
... I have attacked no one. Just as the thread mentioned in the original post titled an insult to Catholics ("Three Words Catholics Do Not Understand", I simply showed that removing the foil of the Church produces a disharmony of doctrine for Protestants. If there is one area where all seem to agree it is their opposition to the Catholic Church. Everything else is open to interpretation... and therefore disunity.
... declared your own understanding perfect,
I did no such thing. I explained the Scripture from the Catholic perspective, just as I said.
and descended into full-on snark while declaring it not (unprompted).
Not meant to be... but each will read it as they will.
