“s often as you shall eat this bread, and drink the chalice, you shall shew the death of the Lord, until he come (1 Cor. 11:26) “

Yes, you eat the bread and drink the cup, and show the death of the Lord.

You aren’t re-sacrificing anybody, and no priest is involved.

What part of "do this in remembrance of me" don't they get???

Not, "Do this to re-sacrifice me."

Not, "Do this to make my sacrifice present."

Not , "Do this in order to get your allotment of grace for the week."

The Lord's supper is not a reiteration, but a commemoration of the sacrifice of Christ. By eating the bread, which represents his body broken for us and drinking the cup, which represents his blood shed for our sins, we demonstrate we have already received his gift of everlasting life by grace through faith in him.

From Matthew Henry's Commentary: The Lord's supper is a sign or memorial of Christ already come, who by dying delivered us; his death is in special manner set before us in that ordinance, by which we are reminded of it. The breaking of Christ's body as a sacrifice for us, is therein brought to our remembrance by the breaking of bread. Nothing can be more nourishing and satisfying to the soul, than the doctrine of Christ's making atonement for sin, and the assurance of an interest in that atonement. Therefore we do this in remembrance of what He did for us, when he died for us; and for a memorial of what we do, in joining ourselves to him in an everlasting covenant.

You don't just eat a memorial snack. St. Paul goes on to say:

he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh judgment to himself, not discerning the body of the Lord. [30] Therefore are there many infirm and weak among you, and many sleep. (1 Cor. 11:29)

Read: there is the Body of Christ in it; the Eucharist is Itself the judgment. Therefore the priest offering the Holy Communion is doing so in the person of Christ; one receiving It is at the Sacrifice of the Cross. As is written:

Amen, amen I say to you, he that receiveth whomsoever I send, receiveth me; and he that receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. (John 13:20)

Read the Holy Scripture once in a while with honesty of heart and you, too, will be Catholic and drop the Protestant lies.
