So you are not Catholic then? You could have saved me the trouble by saying so in the first place.

What does being Catholic or not have to do with the Eucharist, its meaning and celebration. The Eucharist is the partaking of Christ's blood and body in remembrance of his sacrice for our sins indeed the sharing in that sacrifice for we have no life unless we eat of that body and drink of his blood(as He said to his disciples), arguements for or against transubstantiation not withstanding...the Holy Spirit sees such a partaking as supratemporally the same so that arguement is settled as far as I'm concerned. Yet such a partaking has no meaning save Christ resurrected....we share his body and drink of his blood enabling us to share in his resurrection....we do not find Christ amongst the dead...we find him amongst the faithful living!

Living the faith day by day, the frequent willing exposure of the inner self to the self of Jesus is where the rubber meets the road...whether you are Catholic, Orthodox or from the Primitive Baptist church around the corner from Bubba's garage in deep south Georgia!

So what part about Christ's death and resurrection are you saying I don't understand?
