I don't think communion at a Protestant church is meaningless. It's quite different in intention from communion in the Catholic Church, but there are elements of thanksgiving, mystery, commemoration, communion, and even (in Cranmer's language) sacrifice.

I think a number of Protestants manage to make a "spiritual communion" or something very like it, without knowing it.

I think a lot of Catholics miss the whole point of what “spirtual communion” really is deep in one’s own herat.

Granted, "meaningless" is a broad term. Well, it can be. I actually mean it literally.

A "spiritual" communion -- whatever that is -- is a product of one's imagination. There is nothing objective about it. What does the term even mean?

Holy Communion is down to earth. And it is, because it's real.

It's the coolest, freakiest thing there is. I highly recommend it.
