Catholics believe in Jesus and His Blood.

Most people believe the Conventional Reality of earthly establishments.  Catholics and Protestants go beyond.  We believe we live in God’s Creation.  We believe in The Messiah predicted by the Prophets.  Catholics go farther.  Catholics believe in Jesus and His Blood.
1 John 1:5 begins with a belief shared by Catholics and Protestants:  “Beloved:  This is the message that we have heard from Jesus Christ and proclaim to you:  God is light, and in him there is no darkness at all.”
Catholics and Protestants also agree with what follows:   “If we say, ‘We have fellowship with Him,’ while we continue to walk in darkness, we lie and do not act in truth.”
A separation between us begins to be seen with this sentence:   “But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, then we have fellowship with one another, and the Blood of his Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.”
The separation?  Catholics connect “the Blood of His Son Jesus cleanses us from all sin.” with the call to Catholic Communion He repeated a dozen and a half times:  “If you do not eat My Body and drink My Blood you do not have life in you.”
Catholics take Jesus’s words so seriously we do what we must to be in the “fellowship with one another “ AND “the Blood of His Son Jesus” from those ordained in The Only Church He Founded.  We believe He had the power to ordain priests to provide every generation with His Blood and that it “cleanses us from all sin”.
Those who avoid  “the Blood” of Catholic Communion reject His power to provide it.   Catholics believe in Jesus and His Blood.  And, The Only Church He Founded.
It is a hopeful sign that Catholics and Protestants do agree:  “If we say, ‘We have not sinned,’ we make him a liar, and His word is not in us.”
