When I was (as I thought) an Episcopal priest, I thought that through my prayers God was working an objective change in the bread and wine so that they became "really" the body and blood of our Lord. NOW I think I can't say whether or not He did that. I can't say fer shur He did, because I don't think I was really a priest. I can't say fer shur He didn't, because God is full of generous surprises. But I think I CAN say fer shur that when an Orthodox or a Catholic priest says the right words with the right intention then God, in accordance with His promise to the Church, performs the miracle.
So I'm not saying God doesn't reveal... what you said. One CAN buy a real Rolex on the street and the title thereto might even be clear and good. But I do my watch shopping (as if! -- you know what I mean) at the sho' 'nuff Rolex dealership. I have a VERY broad and capacious hope about "sheep that you know not of". God is WAY nicer than I am.
Thanks.
I think I’ll leave that one where it is. LOL.
