You are required to accept that as an article of your faith.
That's some real good a-la-carte catholicism you have going on there.
Yes, we are required to believe what you posted above. And I do believe it. Neither myself nor the Catholic source I posted denied any of it. I actually said as much on my post, and then the article I posted explained in detail exactly what you just posted above lol. So I'm not sure what you are going on about. But like I said, if you want to keep thinking we consider communion cannibalism, go for it. Knock yourself out.
How anyone can accept such pretzel logic is beyond all rational thinking. But it gets worse. Not only are you prepared to accept such apologia, it's outright heresy according to your pope. So bad was that apologia that in 1968 Paul VI issued an encyclical on the matter wherein he specifically condemned exactly what your are doing as heresy.

Where does that leave your apologia? You are no different than my ex. Contrary to the dogma, for example, she happily engaged in contraception and plenty of it. All the while going to mass while smiling out of two faces.
Thus it is with you. The goddamn pope tells you that you are flat out wrong and you simply ignore it and do your own damn thing.
You are, like she, a catholic in name only. A CINO if you will. The very epitome of a cafeteria catholic. Your whole schtick of "I am a catholic except for these bits" rings hollow.
