The revisionist, non-biblical path taken by the Episcopal ‘Church’ in the United States is evident. I could list dozens of points as to where the ECUSA has missed the boat. The real truth is that Anglicanism missed the boat from the days of Henry VIII forward.

It is interesting that the ECUSA took its latest step in going over the cliff within the Octave of Corpus Christi, a day and time honoring the most precious body and blood of our Lord, Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist. Interesting because no matter the level of smells and bells, no matter the beauty of vestments and church buildings, no matter how firm you are in calling yourself Anglo-Catholic, you are in a defective church.

The Anglican Communion simply does not believe in the Holy Eucharist as anything more than a symbol. There is no reality behind it. You can wish it to be true, your can delude yourself into thinking it is true, but if you subscribe to the 39 Articles it is not true. If you perform the Anglican ‘communion service’ nothing happens. The Anglican ‘communion service’ is not the Holy Mass and no sacrifice is offered. The whole sacrificial nature of the perpetual memorial has been washed out.

If the Body of Christ is indeed truly and fully present under the appearance of bread and wine then they are to be worshipped. Is that what you believe? The elements are either changed or they are not. Do you believe they are? Setting aside the question of how they are changed (transubstantiation), which we cannot judge, the fact is true Catholics believe that the change occurs, is real, and is true. The bread and wine are no more, it is Christ Jesus. So we bow down and worship. Yes?

For those who are truly catholic at heart and who are willing to bear a share in the Lord’s cross in order to follow His teachings, who are willing to give up their comfort zone and their ‘Anglican’ way, I urge you to take the step and come to Catholicism. Whether in the PNCC, Orthodoxy, or the Roman Catholic Church, come to the living water. Come receive the bread that lasts forever, as well as all of the sacraments instituted by Christ.

Jesus has given us His body and blood to eat and drink, join with those who believe. He said that you must:

I am the bread of life.
Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died;
this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die.
I am the living bread that came down from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
The Jews quarreled among themselves, saying, “How can this man give us (his) flesh to eat?”
Jesus said to them, “Amen, amen, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you do not have life within you.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him on the last day.
For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink.
Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.
Just as the living Father sent me and I have life because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on me will have life because of me.
This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
