Hello Giuliano, You're grasping at straws here. Let's review: You posited that anyone can preside over the celebration of the Eucharist. I pointed out that the living witness of all the apostolic churches is contrary to this idea. I further showed evidence from Ignatius' letters that the...

The Church has always taught that we are living in 'the last days' . From the catechism: 670 Since the Ascension God's plan has entered into its fulfilment. We are already at "the last hour"... Keep reading Ignatius! I hope you'll find him edifying.. I will address your previous post...

I am writing you this not to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children. Even if you should have countless guides to Christ, yet you do not have many fathers, for I became your father in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Clearly it not the use if the word 'father' that is the issue...

You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole assembly of Israel present, it shall be slaughtered during the evening twilight. This is 'the hour' in which Jesus offers Himself as the paschal Lamb, and establishes the new covenant. In giving Himself to His...

Hello farouk, What are we to do in rememberence? What Jesus did, offer HIS one paschal sacrifice to the Father. This is why we are 'devoted to the breaking of bread' Peace be with you!
