Catholics are blessed.  We believe that Jesus is always right.  In the second half of the Sixth Chapter of John, Jesus said something very unusual.

“If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

Jesus repeated that Twelve Times, once for each of The Twelve Tribes.  Several thousand people were following Jesus.  He had just turned a few loaves of bread into two semi-trailers full of bread.  He had turned a few fish into a several tons of fish!

The crowd was impressed.

But, when Jesus kept repeating “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.” the crowd disappeared.  Their last words to Jesus were in John 6:66. “This is hard!

The Word of Jesus became clear at The Last Supper.  He turned Bread and Wine into His Body and Blood.  Then, Jesus empowered His Disciples, The First Catholic Bishops, with the power to preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation at every Catholic Mass.

His Catholic Bishops went on to found Catholic Churches and to ordain Catholic priests and other Bishops.   Catholic priests and Bishops from those Catholic Churches have been attending Catholic Councils for 2,000 years!

The Body and Blood of Jesus are still being Provided at every Catholic Mass.

Jesus chose these Words of Ordination and Empowerment to His First Catholic Bishops:  “Do this in memory of Me.”

Protestant clergy are not ordained in living link with Jesus’ Ordination of The Apostles.  They ignore The Fullness of:  “Do this in memory of Me.”  To them, The Miracle of Transubstantiation is a mere memory.

Catholics know that Jesus gives Catholic priests the Power to Preside over The Miracle of Transubstantiation.

Protestants are not encouraged to believe Jesus had that much power.   They choose to disobey “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”

The part of their mind that can appreciate Jesus does not have “life in” it.

Can their soul?
