Hi, may I make a clarification?

The Orthodox believe absolutely in the bread and wine becoming Christ's body and blood, by the power of the Holy Spirit. We just don't try to explain it - which is basically what the doctrine of Transubstantiation is, an explanation of something we are content to call a Holy Mystery.

Thanks for letting me clarify. Now back to your discussion.

Mary

Thanks for the clarification! Mystery is good...I've heard it's the western mind that demands articulate explanations for the inexplicable...
