... believers gather before it, leaving aside differences in economic or social class, political convictions, sex and even preferences. Huh? Why did the author add this phrase, when there was nothing remotely similar in the quoted statements by Pope Benedict? And what does the author mean by it?

All well and good. Except the founders of Christianatiy knew nothing of such shenanigans. All well and good, but (as much as I don't like proof-versing) you should consider doing a word study on the Greek κοινωνία (koinonia). Particularly in light of 1 Cor 10:16:
The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not a participation (communion - koinonia) in the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not a participation (communion - koinonia)in the body of Christ?
When you hear the words of the Apostle in 1 Cor 11:24-26, where we are commended to do this as often as we drink together of the cup, I'd say the founders of Christianity did not only know something of this -- I would say they were the prime movers of this.

Never proof-verse with someone like that. My “The Church of Christ” aunt likes to do this with my Catholic husband. She never wins, but thinks she does. My favorite episode was when she was trying to justify why we should not invite the Jews in his family to our wedding. What could we do but laugh?

"The Eucharist can never be a private event, reserved to people chosen on the basis of affinity or friendship," he added. "The Eucharist is a public worship that has nothing of esotericism or exclusivity. Strange statement in light of Paul's admonition that he who eats or drinks unworthily is guilty ...

Some cannot seem to remember that the Son of God was also paraded through the streets or Paul’s warning about being guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ. Some seem to think that Paul was worried that some might “unworthily” consume bread and grape juice.

The "spirit" of Vatican II strikes again!
Who WAS that masked man?
I dunno, but he left this silver bullet.
Look! It has something microstamped on it!
{Note how the writer incorporates another controversial issue seamlessly into this foolishness)
Wuzzit say?
It says, "Church teachings mean what I want them to mean."
Oh my GOD! Throw it away!

That is SEW KEWEL!
In middler year in seminary for systematic theology I wrote three papers, one on the Experience of the Holy as the grundlegung (or petra - heh heh) for all theology, one on the Eucharist, and one on the Holy Spirit. They were called:
Who was that Masked Man?
Silver Bullet
What you Mean 'We', paleface?
I aced the course, and the prof (now gone to his reward) became one of my good friends.

Well, the idea was tht here we are in a predicament. And from who knows where comes a savior. And all we end up knowing about him(at first) is that he saved us. So "Theology" is asking Who he was.
then he left behind something, by which we know more about him and which is an essential aspect of what he is and does. The silver bullet.
ANd finally, we are united to him (and therefore able to say "we") by the Aciton of the Holy Spirit. But what IS that uniting, we are with HIm but we are NOT him, but in a way because of him we are here at all ....., SO' What you mean 'We'?
It just happened y'r honor, I swear I didn't plan it!
