A month long devotion isn’t the same thing as everyone in communion partaking of the body & blood every single time that the Eucharist is offered.

Clearly not. Is anybody saying it is?

What do you think about partaking when one is in a state of severe sin (or a severe state of sin)?

Serious question. It's too early to fight.

I know I owe you a letter.

It's ironic you phrase the question this way, since this is exactly what we believe: We believe that everytime we partake of the Eucharist, in the form of bread, that we actually receive both the Body and the Blood. So we actually do receive both, even if we only receive the consecrated Host.

As for your question regarding unleavened/leavened bread used in the consecration, it's an interesting one, one I recently heard myself. I don't know the answer although I think Mad Dawg may be onto something. Perhaps our Orthodox bretheren could shed some light on it though.
