We enter into the holy place by means of Christ's atoning death - not by means of literally eating His body. It is not Christ's flesh & blood, in themselves, which give life - it is the redemptive work of the God-Man, Jesus Christ, which gives life, a work that would have been impossible unless He took on the flesh & blood nature of man to act in man's stead in bearing the punishment of man's sin & fulfilling man's duties toward God.

Regarding Jn 4:10-14... I have no clear evidence that this is not referring to living water. As it is written, "this is the one who came through water and blood... so there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water, and the blood." Cf. 1 Jn 5:6-7.

The thing of which you have no clear evidence is that the Scriptures teach transubstantiation.

As I understand it, cannibalism is eating a dead body. Catholics don't believe in eating Christ's dead body nor eating him in a bloody--i.e. a destructive manner.

Cannibalism is the eating of human flesh by another human being.
