I guess I missed the part about "Each week I am requiring you to go to a beautifully gilded Cathedral (with statues of my mom larger than those of me) and have the guy in the bathrobe say some words over it to turn it into my blood and body." Can you help us out here and give us that reference?

Sorry for the slow reply. I was a away for the weekend.
If you're interested in a debate over the biblical basis of the Mass, by all means make a post and start a discussion.
But your point was more specific and more comprehensive:
Good thing biblical Christianity doesn’t have anything to “do”.
That claim would appear false in light of Christ's injunction to "do this in memory of me".
If we agree that Christ was commanding us to do something, then let's move on to a discussion of just what he was commanding us to do. If you would claim that he wasn't commanding us to do something, I'd be curious for your opinion on why he said "do this in memory of me".
