THAT'S my point! The catholic denomination has been wrong since 107 A.D. and has passed that "tradition" down ever since. You'd NEVER have seen nor read how the disciples carried some bread in a box and displayed it in towns as THE Body of Jesus.
"Hear ye! Hear ye! 'Jesus the Bread' is passing through!"
Such idolitry.
"Hear ye! Hear ye! 'Jesus the Bread' is passing through!"

A study of the history of doctrines indicates that Christians in the first centuries were up in arms if anyone suggested the least change in beliefs.
Surely belief in the Eucharist would be considered a great change, if it had not been believed from the first, so where are the records of protests? They don’t exist.
They must have understood that the oral teaching of the apostles, what Catholics call tradition, and the Bible not only failed to contradict the doctrine, but, in fact, confirmed it.
