There's no denying that tradition has altered the clear teaching of Christ in scripture. But that doesn't make it right.

OOOoooookayyyyy ... now you're officially off the deep end. It is not a matter of "tradition" altering the "clear teaching of Christ."

Jesus' Institution of the Eucharist is clearly described in each of the Synoptic Gospels, and echoed by St. Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:23-26.

Jesus Christ himself drew the distinction between the old and new Covenants at that precise moment. The Passover is of the old covenant; the Eucharist is part of the new.

There seems to be no point in continuing, if you're going to try to finesse something as obvious as that.

Although I wouldn't call it the eucharist, I don't disagree with you. You're not understanding my point.
