GPH “reinterpret” for me how this is compatible with the Roman Catholic view of John 6... ” This is then to eat the meat, not that which perisheth, but that which endureth unto eternal life.

Easy! Jesus does not parish. He gives us Himself in The Blessed Sacrament of the Eucharist

Blessed Augustine understood this too

Don't bother posting me until you can do so in a kind manner!

Oops, no, you still didn’t address anything Augustine actually said. If Jesus gives Himself in the Eucharist, how can Augustine assert that the command “Believe on Him whom the Father has sent” is to “labor for that meat which perishes not.”

“Don’t bother posting me until you can do so in a kind manner!”


Don’t bother posting to me until you can accurately quote Augustine and make logical conclusions based on what he wrote, and not what you wish he wrote!
