"This, he told me, is the curse which goes out over all the world; for by the writing on one side, every thief shall be swept clean away and by the writing on the other every perjurer shall be swept clean away. I have sent it out, the Lord of Hosts has said, and it shall enter the house of the thief and the house of the man who has perjured himself in my name. It shall stay inside that house and demolish it, timbers, and stones, and all." Zechariah 5:3
"When the pagan Roman Empire was replaced by the Papal Roman Empire in 313, Mithraism seemed to disappear completely. In reality, the Mithraic cross became the "Christian" cross; Mithraic temples became "Christian" churches, the 7 Mysteries of Mithras became the 7 sacraments, the Mithraic communion became the mass, and the birthday of Mithras became the birthday of baby JESUS:"
“They thought His discourse was harsh and intolerable, supposing that He had really and literally enjoined on them to eat his flesh, He, with the view of ordering the state of salvation as a spiritual thing, set out with the principle, It is the spirit that quickens; and then added, The flesh profits nothing — meaning, of course, to the giving of life. He also goes on to explain what He would have us to understand by spirit: The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. In a like sense He had previously said: He that hears my words, and believes in Him that sent me, has everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but shall pass from death unto life. Constituting, therefore, His word as the life-giving principle, because that word is spirit and life, He likewise called His flesh by the same appellation; because, too, the Word had become flesh, We ought therefore to desire Him in order that we may have life, and to devour Him with the ear, and to ruminate on Him with the understanding, and to digest Him by faith.” (Tertullian; On the Resurrection of the Flesh 37)
I have no idea what you think this means.
The document you quoted was written for the following reason...
"The heretics against whom this work is directed, were the same who maintained that the demiurge, or the god who created this world and gave the Mosaic dispensation, was opposed to the supreme God. Hence they attached an idea of inherent corruption and worthlessness to all his works — among the rest, to the flesh or body of man; affirming that it could not rise again, and that the soul alone was capable of inheriting immortality."

Your beliefs that the Body and Blood of Christ are not manifested in the consecrated host are heretical. You are literally using an argument against an unrelated heresy to justify a different heresy.
