"Honestly, does this always have to be dealt with in every Catholic thread?

Jesus never held up a door and said, “This is my body.”

Jesus never held up a lamb and said, “This is my body.”

Ridiculous argument.

Jesus said, I am the door and I am the Lamb of God, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. All of which He is. But he never claimed that a door was His body or that a lamb was His body."

Also, nobody ever left Jesus for saying those metaphors, but they did leave Him in droves when He spoke prophetically about how they would have to eat His flesh and drink His blood.

They were at least bright enough to clearly understand when Jesus was talking metaphorically and when He was not.

Yep, they were the ones who thought He was speaking literally and since they were Jews knew that eating human flesh and drinking blood were forbidden by God. Catholics on the other hand have no compunctions about not obeying God’s commands.
