Unless Fr. Kissinger went to one of the old Communion-once-every-three-months LCMS churches, he didn’t need to become a Jesuit to understand the necessity of the Eucharist—not that it’s a problem, I just hope he is an orthodox and not a heterodox Jesuit :-)
Seriously, in my 26 years in the LCMS I have seen the churches in my area, and the ones where my son has lived (IN, IL, WI), returning to their roots in relation to the Eucharist, going from once-a-quarter or once-a-month to every Sunday. Some of it came from the laity experiencing Lutheran versions of Cursillo in the 80s and 90s, also from younger members wanting the strength of Christ that comes from the receiving of Christ. What makes me pleased with this is that the pressure to expand the providing of the Eucharist has come up from the laity, not something that was imposed upon the laity by the clergy.
I have always had a high degree of respect for the LCMS and I have always detected a large measure of Catholic-Lutheran harmony there.
