Apparently it is you have not a clue. Paul was a Jew, familiar with the Levitical laws to the nth degree. He is telling his audience (that includes you and me) that if one takes the bread and wine unworthily, they are drinking damnation to themselves because they violate the law. But if the adherent partakes properly they are taking merely bread and wine in a remembrance of what Jesus has done for them. It is the Passover Paul is speaking of, cum full circle int he willing sacrifice Jesus made of His body and blood for our redemption. When wee partake of the bread and wine in worthy fashion, humble, repentant, and gladness at the Grace of God in Christ, we are not in violation of the law because it is bread and wine symbology. BUT, if partaking unworthily, we are not in fellowship with Christ and are doing as too many catholics do every mass, eating the body, blood, soul, and divinity of The Christ, cannibalizing in symbology because they are not in fellowship with Him. When you seek to put catholic words in Paul's mouth, you better know where Paul was coming from else you leap into blasphemy.
