To: Salvation
My concern is that in the Catholic church the Christian can partake of the Body but not of the Blood. When Jesus in Matthew 26:27-28 says, "Drink this, all of you (πάντες), for this is the blood of the covenant...", then to only receive the Body is not to truly experience the Eucharist.

I’ve heard it explained that the Eucharist Host is the body and blood of Christ, bothtogether. Not sure why. Sure makes a confusing mess of things.

Every Catholic Mass I’ve been to for several decades has offered the Eucharist as both bread and wine.

In my parish church, I recieve both the body and precious blood of Jesus.
