RE: “Mystery”
A lot of us don’t want mysterious mumbo-jumbo. We want to UNDERSTAND the Christian faith and rites as clearly as humanly possible. We must know what we profess to believe. Give me light, not darkness.
No one disagrees with understanding. My 6 year old just received Holy Communion and we went to great pains to explain to him Whom he was receiving.
But human understanding is going to run out at some point, and the Mass is mysterious by nature. "This is my body" is a mysterious concept. Isn't it better to acknowledge that?
