The text points toward Jesus meaning something more than a metaphor, especially because of the crowd’s intense reaction and his refusal to clarify. The Last Supper connects the dots, making it clear he was pointing to a real, sacramental presence in the Eucharist. Cannibalism involves physically eating human flesh, which is obviously not what’s happening here. Catholics see the Eucharist as a spiritual and divine encounter, not a literal chomping on Jesus’ body. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1374-1376) explains it as receiving Christ whole and entire—body, blood, soul, and divinity—in a way that nourishes the soul, not the stomach. It’s not a metaphor and it’s required lest you have no life in you.
But why read a book compiled by people who supposedly and according to you, want to control you?
Isnt the more likely answer that the church was established by Christ and they keep his teachings safe?
No no it’s definitely a Satanic cult that compiled and censored the teachings of Christ in order to control and manipulate the masses…
I sometimes wonder how you people even get by day to day.
Why should I heed the teaching of those occupying the seat of Peter, when I have only one teacher, Jesus?
Heeding the teachings of those occupying the Seat of Peter (the Pope) is rooted in the belief that Jesus established a visible Church with a structure of authority to guide His followers. In Matthew 16:18-19, Jesus says to Peter, “You are Peter, and on this rock I will build my Church… I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” Catholics interpret this as Jesus appointing Peter as the first leader of His Church, with the authority to bind and loose, a role that continues through his successors, the Popes.
While Jesus is the ultimate Teacher and Head of the Church, Catholics believe He entrusted the Church with the mission to teach and safeguard His truth (Matthew 28:19-20). The Pope, as the successor of Peter, is seen as the visible head of the Church on earth, guided by the Holy Spirit to preserve the deposit of faith (John 16:13). This does not replace Jesus’ teachings but ensures they are faithfully interpreted and applied amidst changing times. The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 882) states, “The Pope… enjoys, by the divine assistance promised to him in blessed Peter, that infallibility which the divine Redeemer willed his Church to have in defining doctrine concerning faith or morals.” Thus, Catholics are called to heed the Pope’s authoritative teachings, especially on matters of faith and morals, as an extension of obedience to Christ, who established this structure.
This does not diminish Jesus as the one Teacher but reflects the Catholic belief that He works through His Church, including the Petrine office, to guide believers. The Pope’s role is to serve as a steward of Christ’s teachings, not to supplant them, ensuring unity and fidelity to the Gospel.

It’s not rocket science.
I’m a hard liner Catholic. Catholicism has stood up to Judaism, Islam and Freemasonry for longer than most of your churches have been around. I was on 4chan when Q first posted and followed the movement here. Watching people lie about the church for the past ummm eight years has been exhausting.
Of the Cabala variety. She openly admits it.

I’m an American. You think Elon Musk and the others are lying? No one said it’s Americas problem. That’s YOU throwing up a Strawman.
I’m one of Satans workers? You have some nerve talking about a sibling in Christ like that. I did not lie and I did not twist a single argument.
You’re projecting so hard.
We are not saying the same thing. Where are you eating his flesh and drinking his blood as Jesus commands?
