Man’s doctrines and traditions did not impress Jesus (”teaching for doctrines the commandments of men” Mark 7:7) and do not impress me.

Our authority is Scripture not church doctrine ( 2 Timothy 3:16).

Jesus said of communion, “this do YOU as often as YOU take it” (1 Cor 11:23-26). Communion is between Christ and his disciples. No mention of a church being the go-between.

So show in Scripture where “the Church gives us Communion” and where the Catholic Church is inseparable from Christ.

The Church gave us Scripture. Or do you think the Bible fell out of the sky?

Jesus said of communion, “this do YOU as often as YOU take it” (1 Cor 11:23-26). Communion is between Christ and his disciples. No mention of a church being the go-between.

To whom did Jesus give this command? The Apostles, on whom the Church is built. It is through the ordained priesthood that we receive Communion.

So show in Scripture where “the Church gives us Communion” and where the Catholic Church is inseparable from Christ.

Read St. Paul.

Ephesians 4:4-13, Ephesians 1:22-23, 1 Corinthians 12:12, 1 Corinthians 10:17.
