I did NOT offer my opinion as "symbolic"! 
Jesus lived/died/rose in time and space. Do you deny that He "instituted" Eucharist on Thursday, in a house meal BEFORE he died (the next day and at another location)  and BEFORE he  rose from the dead (the day after that and in still another location) and that he lives today. Do you deny that or assert that it is erroniously symbolic? Do you believe that the Jesus who did all that is not the same Jesus who lives today and is present in the Eucharist?
