The Real Presence totally contradicts the statement "The Sacraments of the Altar are not the real Body and Blood of Christ, but only the commemoration of his Body and Blood."

Okay, so you're acknowledging that the Celtic Orthodox taught the Calvinist, not the Greek or Latin, view of the Eucharist.

Well, yes, that's exactly what I have been saying, isn't it?

No, I'm acknowledging that the author is attempting to wrongly portray that as so.

And I'm acknowledging that he allow his own beliefs to color his research. A tragic though not uncommon occurrence.

Anyone who has spent any amount of time on this forum has become very familiar with observing this practice. I've even seen folks "cherry-picking" quotes from Scripture to support the man-made tradition of Sola Scriptura.

And I note that many members of the British royal family fled to Kievan Rus' following 1066, where they undoubtedly found a familar faith being proclaimed.
