I think He did it, because heathens living then and there were expecting something like this from a God. I mean, the ceremonial consumption of sacrificial animals was quite popular among those folks. The only novum was that there was no replacement for God making sacrifice of Himself, to end all sacrifices. My question is, do we really need to do this after two thousands years? For me this is just pure reconstruction of a ritual, but without any idea what did the passage you cited meant for the Apostles and people whom they preached.

I'm a Christian just not the Catholic variety. I go to mass and take the Eucharist on occasion, too, because I enjoy it. There doesn't seem to be any benefit to "convert" (not the correct word but people use it all the time) to RC. It's not that I have anything against RC theology per se, any more than I have problems with my own denomination's theology. I focus on the similarities in our traditions rather than the differences and consider all Christians my brothers and sisters. I realize that many won't consider me that way and I'm OK with that.

This. To talk about Christ's physical characteristics is to misunderstand the nature of the Trinity.
Americans by and large don't really understand anything about Christianity though
>After all, in their exegesis the early Church theologians neither received the Bible as a 'Bible without notes' nor interpreted it in a vacuum. They received along with the Bible a tradition of interpreting it for a worshipping community and they proceeded to interpret it for a worshipping community. The study of the Bible as a scientific discipline to be carried on for its own sake was very far from their thought, and at all times has been, one suspects, a mere will-o'-the-wisp. This does not mean that the Fathers sacrificed everything for the sake of the edification of the faithful or for the consistent articulation of a doctrinal system. They sacrificed too much for these ends, but they were not unconscious of limits and controls on this process imposed by the Bible itself. Their purpose in exegesis was nevertheless purely practical, and we do not understand their exegesis until we understand this. They began the story of the Church's relations with the Bible, in which the Bible and the life of the Church were to interact for all the centuries to come, each correcting, deepening, fertilising the other. They inaugurated the Church's dance with the Bible, fancifully perhaps, but not irresponsibly, perhaps erratically, but at least gaily.-Cambridge History of the Bible, Vol 1, pg 453.
How can Protestants even compete?
>>53524445
"Therefore when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, "It is finished!" And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit."
John 19:30
If it is finished then why would you need to continue to receive his sacrifice. He never said, "It is finished, [every Sunday]".
Someone might even say that the Eucharist is a scam to lure you to Church and place your salvation in the hands of the priest, not God the Father.

Also before you try abusing what Lane had written earlier, here's what he has to say about the Sola Scripturists,
>The essence of the coincidence view is the as sumption not just that Scripture and tradition have the same content but also that this cont ent is found in the teach ing of the church. The error in attributing the coinci dence view to the Reformers li es in the neglect of their ecclesiology. 58 They did allow for an interpretative tradition not adding to Scripture but did not see either this tradition or ecclesiastical teaching as infallib le. It was possible to appeal to Scripture alike from (interpretative) tradit ion and ecclesiastical teaching. There are two important differences between this view and th e classical coincidence view of Irenaeus and Tertullian. These patristic writer s were concerned to show the identity of ecclesiastical with apostolic teaching while the Reformers sought to do the opposite. Furthermore they accepted the inherited faith because it was apostolic tradition whereas the Reformers accepted the (traditional) creeds only because they believed them to be scriptural. 59 This is a significant difference. While the Reformers did not desp ise tradition they only accepted it if it was scriptural, Scripture remain ing the final arbiter. Unlike the coincidence view the sola scriptura did not involve the unqualified acceptance of any tradition or of the teaching of any church and Scripture remained, formally as well as materially, the ultimate criterion and norms. 6

I'm not a catholic because when we are confident that nothing is real, we really don't see why we'd bother proving it. The wise man is one who consents to everything, because he doesn't identify himself with anything. An opportunist without desire.

>>53550436
It's wrong to proclaim yourself the son of God, or preach damnation against all who don't take heed of your master's teaching. It's wrong to forgive others for sins they committed against a third party. It's wrong to hunt and murder "heretics", claiming it was in defense of the flock, since the mere existence of unorthodox opinions threatens to lead them astray from the perfect union in Christ. It's wrong to fabricate stories about your master's birth and lineage to legitimize his claim as messiah, just as it is wrong to lie about miraculous events. It's wrong to preach that merely contemplating a sin is as bad as committing the sin itself. It's wrong to backpedal from centuries of teaching hell as eternal punishment, to a modern update where it's merely disunion with the all loving God. It's wrong to invent fantastical realms like limbo and purgatory, which aren't in the bible. It's wrong to cover-up child rape, then whine about how the media's being unfairly harsh with you. It's wrong to say that merely accepting Jesus into one's heart, makes one saved.
It's wrong for a pseudo-intellectual bishop to start a video blog, lying about church teaching and history. Which is why you should stop watching so much Robert Barron.

So why are you guys Catholic or religious for that matter? For me religion is something that was created as a means to control people so that they wouldn't just act like savages and do whatever they felt like. People feared that what they did here would carry on with them for all eternity. I also see religion as a means for explain things that science could not explain due to the limited knowledge and technology at the time. Since we can explain most things or at least have theories as to why things occurs and since for the most part we live in a global society where we know what is wrong and right I don't see a need for religion.
