The practice of communion is also done by the Orthodox and most major Protestant denominations.

You honestly believe you have a better understanding of what is proper for Christianity than either the Apostolic fathers and Millenia of Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant theologians?

Most protestants don't believe that they are ingesting ACTUAL flesh and blood... Christianity has no room for cannibalism. It is for every individual to decide what is right, you are responsible for YOU at the end of it all. I do not think I have a better understanding for others, only for me. It is from study of the HOLY Bible, and other texts, including the catholic canon, and thinking that I come to my conclusions, not on what "millennia of dogma" have found for themselves. Your relationship to God is between you and God, and he will guide you into great understanding through the Holy Spirit.

the Lutherans do. The Presbyrterians believe that it contains the precense of Christ which in effect is essentially the same damned thing (you are consuming christ).

It is from study of the HOLY Bible, , and other texts, including the catholic canon, and thinking that I come to my conclusions

The same holy bible that says this:

"Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day "- John 6:53.

"Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him" - 6:54-56

"26 And as they were eating, Jesus took bread, and blessed it, and brake it, and gave it to the disciples, and said, Take, eat; this is my body.

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it;

28 For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." Matthew 26:26-28

Looks like you need to study better.

And no more sacrifices are made. The bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ.

No blood of gentile children necessary.

Yes, however, in transubstanation, you are actually "sacrificing" Jesus over and over. Also, there's the cannibalism thing going on.

No don't get me wrong. Obviously Catholics are the anti-church. The pope being the antipope.

Jesus was also very clear on this point, that there would be one bride to Jesus, or one church.

That's the church of at Peter, or the orthodox Christian Church.

Where might you find centers of Christian orthodoxy?

Hmm.. Syria, Lebanon, Ethiopia, Russia, Poland, Ukraine....

Gosh...I wonder what else might line up with those regions.
