Communion

I got so frustrated in Bible Study yesterday. We were discussing receiving the cup, and one JP2 woman gave the standard reason for not receiving from the cup. As I pointed out, Jesus, didn't offer just the bread to the disciples, but the cup as well. Where did we get to the point of believing that by the priest breaking off a piece of the host and putting it in the cup and then consuming it himself that we're following Jesus' example of : This is my body, take it and eat.; this is my blood take it and drink. I felt like I was talking to a brick wall as she repeated the "official line".
