  • If You Look Only at the Similarities, They’re Exactly the Same!

    One area where Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox part ways is over describing what goes on in the consecration of the elements in the Eucharist.

For Roman Catholics, the transformation is sacramental and describable – in fact it is described quite specifically by the…

  • Devin Rose on Ignatius, Justin Martyr, and the Eucharist

    Over in the over-flowing comment box at the Roman Catholic blog Called to Communion, Devin Rose has provided a comment that veers slightly off the stated topic for that box.

    Informal Debate on Eastern Orthodoxy and Transubstantiation The following is an informal debate that took place between Mr. Bellisario and myself on the issue of Eastern Orthodoxy and Transubstantiation. I’ve taken the liberty of cleaning it up a bit. Those who want the raw combox flow may find it in the combox of the linked…
