Recently, America Needs Fatima, a Catholic-themed group, asked me to email Notre Dame asking the university to retract statements finding the Eucharist a worthless medievalism; here is what I emailed to Notre Dame today on behalf of actually ALL people of any peaceable faith or philosophy:

"Dear Fr. McBrien,
   
Even if the Eucharist were just emblematic, it is emblematic of something God as Jesus Christ Himself instituted AS such emblem; further, it is certainly plain in Christology that Jesus Christ can heal directly, or, as in the case of a Roman centurion's son, at two day's distance by Word alone...and so it goes; and to date, no one has ever theologically explained how Christ cannot intend to use remembrance via bread or wafer to somehow draw people closer to His presence, vineyard workers, or both...or could not, if He or the Father willed, be in a Eucharist or anything, anywhere else the Father pleased.

Even Einstein studied the principles of the Eucharist, and found trans-substantiation not at all impossible under the laws of physics.

In that Mohammed himself said Jesus Christ plus several Judaic prophets are among those 25 people who MUST be revered in Islam, it seems an outright lie to claim Muslims or anyone else (other than Ladenist types) worldwide will love erasure of Jews, Christ, or their teachings; in any event, mentioning this to a Christian person, Jesus Himself said the next life may not be entered with a red carpet where one trying to do great deeds in His name has abandoned Him to save the earthly self/people, so denying Christ to appease Ladenists and thus sacrificing the the purposes for which God put all other peaceable people, faiths, and secularisms on earth...somehow, that would seem not on par with the words of Christ, and could in fact tacitly infer those under the power of Satan serve a far superior being, one to be craven admiration in hopes of earthly comfort, advanced personal position, increases to one's coffers, or combinations thereof.

To reiterate, under secular science no proof exists against trans-substantiation, the Eucharist is emblematic of worship or adherence to the teachings of Jesus Christ, no "greater good for mass humanity" could be demonstrated through excoriating believers in the Eucharist, and wherefore, I respectfully submit to you that an apology to those holding the Eucharist dear be made."

I figure I might as well share my emails, since recently Google started melding the Gmail account "republiservative@gmail.com" with my separate personal Gmail account...like now I'll have cooties, or something. Further, anybody at all who reads this blog already knows I'm a ULC minister anyway so "boo!" back at ya, Google.
