I want to read to you some quotations from early Church Fathers about the Eucharist to give to you an awareness that this is not some innovation, it’s not some novel invention of the Middle Ages. For instance, at the end of the first century, St. Ignatius of Antioch, a disciple of the beloved disciple, John, spoke of the heretics who were plaguing the Church in his day, ‘They abstain from the Eucharist because they do not confess that the Eucharist is the flesh of our Savior, Jesus Christ.’ It’s a perennial problem, isn’t it? |
