Eucharistia: Father Matthew Presents

Episcopal priest, Matthew Moretz, directs films a piece on behalf of the workshop participants at Shrinemont 2008, a conference for adults with the Episcopal Diocese of Southern Virginia. Father Matthew was the keynote speaker at their "Incarnation in a Virtual World" conference. He led a workshop where we scripted and filmed our own webisode as a team. "Father Matthew Presents" is a semi-regular series on church life and teaching by the curate of Christ's Church in Rye, New York. www.fathermatthewpresents.com

why not call it "Breaking Bread"

that's what they are doing...

to call it something that involves Transubstantiation is from Pagan Rome...

Break all ties with the Harlot!

That's harsh, friend.

If there is anything in this world I'm berserk about, it's the Eucharist.

@Christian3269 Christ Himself used the words "Body and Blood" at the Last Supper.

what is the meaning behind this video, what has this to do with communion as Jesus instituted it? i must be missing something here.

@ChaseFowler19: Actually we don't know anything about how "devout" Jesus was in any way shape or form. The Gospels relate incidents intended to convey how Jesus felt about certain aspects of the customary religious observances of his day. Some stories indicate that he went to Synagogue and had conflict with some of the religious authorities in his locale and that things he said got him in enough trouble to get him executed. That is all the information we have.

@Christian3269 By saying that the Lord rebuked the religious system of His day is a complete contradiction to even your feeble theology. Jesus was a very devout Jew, actually, the MOST devout. By rebuking, he would be considered a sinner, thus, proving that He WASN'T without sin and just a human. Christ may have disagreed with the priests of the temple, but that doesn't mean he was rebuking the religion! Ex: Just because a person doesn't like Obama doesn't mean they don't love the USA.

@Christian3269 I feel sorry for you. I would highly recommend you Google searching the term "Scripture Catholic" and see for yourself what the Catholic Church believes. It all comes from scripture! The title "father" is explained and how the Catholics find their scripture text in order to support that title. Also, to call the most holy man living (besides Christ in the tabernacle) the King of Modern Babylon just proves your ignorance! Look it up and learn what Catholics really believe!

@GodTowardSociety Anglican/Episcopal churches do pray the rosary, however it depends on the parish. If you go to what is nick-named an Anglo-Catholic parish, you will find that the Marian devotion is very popular. Not saying that only Anglo-Catholics (Anglican's with Catholic minded theology) do it, I'm just saying that it is typical. I pray the rosary myself, and I'm an Anglo-Catholic.

@Christian3269 if you believe that Transubstantiation is from "pagan Rome", you are COMPLETELY wrong in where you got that information and obviously have not read into the theology nor have considered it. Transubstantiation is a true fact that is embraced in the Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican and some Lutheran churches. Truly learn the entire theology and scripture base texts that supports it in order to understand it.
