According to the bible, Jesus founded a church and this church had priests who could forgive sins and who would turn bread into the Body of Jesus. Do you know the name of this church? I do. It is the Catholic Church. If you want a relationship with Jesus then why not do it through the Church He started?
Nothing Jesus said can rationally support the notion that that the bread in an RC communion actually becomes the physical body of Christ; NOTHING. Jesus said, eat the bread in remembrance of Him.
Lou Holtz should have directed his comments to the administration and faculty of Notre Dame first and foremost.
When the veil of the Temple was torn at the death of Christ, it symbolized that everyone had direct access to God and not longer required a human priest to intercede for him. Jesus is the High Priest and all can go directly to Him.
As for the "Church He started", the first churches were home churches.
Did Jesus also ordain the historic corruption of the Roman Catholic Church throughout the centuries? The RCC is a man-created organization that has done much good - and much evil; but it is merely a man-created organization.
