Or is the cannibals in Rome, who believe they can enter heaven by gnawing upon our Lord?

The Catholic Church takes whatever it wants to literally, and adds mysticism from Paganism as doctrine. Their methodology of taking the ordinances is off too...everyone is supposed to be drinking the grape juice (which is what new wine was...fermented wine would never be used for this because the requirement is that nothing has leavening or anything similar. In order for wine to be an alcoholic drink, it becomes defiled by fermentation.) and partaking of the unleavened bread. Breaking bread together as it were...actually I have never seen Catholics take it as a fellowship but more as a stoic ritual.
When we seek Truth with the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we need to be willing to leave man's traditions behind.

Cannibalism is humans eating the flesh of other humans.
In the Eucharist, Catholics eat the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ, God the Son, the second person of the Holy Trinity.
Humans eating God at God's command is not cannibalism. It also does not injure God in any way.
At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” Then he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through a miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where God, acting through the priest, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
By the way, the Orthodox, Lutheran and many Anglican Churches also believe in the Real Presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church, sections 1322 and following: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2sect2chpt1art3.htm
With love in Christ.

The church has no means and not in any respect will. The church is the place you bypass to with the intention to get enlightment touching directly to the bible and non secular concepts that are in no way taught via the RCC which you like lots. all of us know that the RCC has held itself larger than Yahweh Himself - that's certainly documented - in simple terms devil tries that trick so study in simple terms 2 paragraph down from the 1st verse you quoted: Mat 28:20 coaching them to video exhibit all issues in any appreciate I even have commanded you: and, lo, i'm with you alway, even unto the top of the international. Do you, possibly, word that we are no longer allowed to make our very own regulations yet in simple terms follow what has been commanded human beings? Secondly, once you worship in a satanic, even white magic environment, wager what? Your prayers are neutralised or havent you spotted? There are 7 reasons for going to church and the church having means isn't one in each and every of them. we ought to consistently communicate them especially situations so the veil over your non secular eyes could be bumped off. that's obvious that neither you nor Fr Joseph comprehend non secular concepts in the different case you will possibly comprehend the magnitude of Paul's utterances approximately 'fake apostles' and the magnitude of the prophetic action while the temple curtain tore on the crucifixion, we've direct get entry to to the Throne Room and have not have been given any choose for self-appointed apostles to mediate between us and Jesus - particularly those of Zoroaster. devil can not justify himself to a Holy Spirit led individual and you are able to not achieve this on his behalf.

cannibalism involves eating dead peope.
In the Holy Eucharist, we recieve the living, glorified body and blood, soul, and divinity of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
"Amen, amen I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood, you don not have life within you..." John 6:53
