But he also said, "This is My body"; "This is My blood". And again, in John 6, "My flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed." I could go on, but that's just a sidetrack, so I won't.

Ah yes... but Jesus also said He was: the Door, the Gate, the True Vine, the Living Water, the Bread that came down from Heaven, etc (I could go on too ). So at some points, He is obviously speaking symbolically. Then it just becomes a matter of determining whether He is doing so at the Last Supper.

EDIT: - Oh, and on the other... just when was the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception established?
