Ministerial priests (e.g. bishops) "celebrate" Mass differently from common priests (all the rest of us). I'm saying Paul is not saying that Church bishops should ever stop celebrating the Eucharist. It should stop for non-Catholics, Derf. That's what you just proved. Even if it's...

No. The papacy itself promotes Biblical authority, the Bible is on a par with Apostolic authority. My point is that according to my view, that the bishops have not done such as you hypothesize corroborates my view. If this weren't true, then my view would be suspect and even irrational. But...

You're contending, I thought, that priests should stop celebrating Eucharist. I'm saying I don't buy it. But in the meantime, we are anointed with the Spirit. So obviously something's ontologically different right now, not just at the resurrection. But the Apostles continued to celebrate the...

The woman's seed, a male, will avenge her. He will do it through the sacrifice of His flesh and the shedding of His blood. :) I'm thinking about the practice of infant baptism and the analogy with infant circumcision. Totally. And Resurrection! That too. Circumcision was an immensely...

That's an important aspect of our faith, agreed.
