1 Corinthians 11
23 For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread,
24 and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.”
25 In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
26 For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

We know that you ignore what Jesus taught if you find that Paul didn't teach it, but Jesus taught that the Eucharist is important as the above verses demonstrate.
If you are a follower of Christ it is obvious that the Eucharist is important. Maybe from your posts, you are not a follower of Christ.
I didn't claim that I know whether or not the Eucharist is a requirement to be saved/justified.
I believe that the Biblical narrative shows that Jesus's teaching is more than justification and salvation but to enrich lives by providing means for people to get closer to him as I believe the Eucharist does.

The point being made, it is NOT to be taken in the context that the CC do, as though your Literally eating Jesus = SATANIC.

It could quite easily be a piece of bread taken from your fridge, NO ritual done on or over it first.
It is simply taken to represent the Body he gave up -> The Message entwined in it.
