Some Episcopalians take the Anglo-Catholic viewpoint, I always did, that's why I'm Catholic today. Others are more Protestant and don't believe in the Real Presence. I guess for them, it's no problem. But what we're talking about here is Catholic priests - who DO believe in the Real Presence.

I'm just a devil's advocate here-don't really have a strong position. The answer to my "women at the tomb" question was good.

BUT-the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is brought about by whom? By God (in the form of Christ, fulfilling his "I will be there among you" promise) - or by the priest?

If the answer is, "by the priest", he must have supernatural HELP from God-in-Christ, or it wouldn't happen, right?

That being so, and God being omnipotent, what does it matter who the minister is?
