I do know for a fact that in the Catholic Bible it is strickly forbidden to literally drink blood.(Gen. 9:4;Lev.17:10;Acts15:20) Surely then it possible that Jesus meant that the bread stood for his body and the wine stood for his blood. Jesus also said “This cup is the new covenant in my blood which will be poured out for you.” The cup was not literally the new covenant, it represented the new covenant.
So either the Bible has a gross contradiction or the church teaching possible has a flaw in it.

Two of your quotes are Old Testament and not applicable, unless you avoid shellfish for your immortal soul's sake.
