Man Willie, while I agree to a certain degree with what you are saying, in the sense she shouldn't shun everything the RCC teaches, simply because it's RCC. Yes they do have some truth mixed in with it, but then you mention the Eucharist??? Really? I agree with what you said as far as “The Communication of the remembrance of Jesus”, but you must be ignorant of what the Eucharist is in Catholic mass. Yes we are to “share communion in remembrance” just like Jesus commands us, but that is not what it is in the RCC. According to the RCC the Eucharist is a sacrifice, it is a work intended to help buy salvation. They believe that it literally turns into the physical body and blood of Jesus so they can offer it as a sacrifice for their sin again, and again, and again, and again. That concept is foreign to the bible, unless you can educate me and show me where that’s found. The Roman catholic Eucharist is not the same thing you just described, besides outside of the RCC I’ve always just heard it called Communion.
Eucharist doesn't do good to you. If you take the Holy Communion with sin, this means you are eating your sin and future death and doom. More guilt and self-loathe here because we are all sinners and actually nobody should be taking the Holy Communion without being sinless. This means no one period. Apart from that, it does not do good to people. Here's my story. Please let me spare the details. The Holy Communion can be used to harm people spiritually, there's how. I know an old couple and he is a recurrent cheater. The wife forces this man to go to mass and forces him to have the Holy Communion in mortal sin, and she's very proud to say she's doing this to him. He is sick and now she is developing some sort of very aggressive dementia even if she's not that young. None of the couples in the family stay together, they are all divorced. Women flee from that family. Once that woman I was talking about talked to me in the face being angry and I can swear she looked like a devil. People steal from them, they have stalkers, they have bad health and accidents. When I look at them I always think the Lord is punishing him for years and years of this gruesome heresy. That's why I have stopped believing in that as well. Besides, the more I think of it, the more I believe the whole Roman Catholic Church has economic interests behind. I have only seen wealthy people have a position in the cofradías. Mind it, I have also seen miraculous healings in the RCC, but it was always because of the faith of the believer in the Lord. This should say something.
On the other hand, I REALLY like this concept of sharing communion in remembrance. Community and remembering God and sharing our food. This looks sound and correct!!!! At least something I can understand and agree with!!!!!!!
My I am learning so much here that I am feeling even better about the OCD. Not feeling so self-loathe anymore. Perhaps I needed to get rid of these thoughts and practices to be OK.
