But I think I can say we view our Eucharist as different from yours which would Possibly explain their actions a little better.

I agree with your post, and appreciate it’s graciousness. But in the words I quoted above, I would again reiterate that it is not our Eucharist or your Eucharist. It is Christ’s. He is the host of the banquet, and it is He that is present in body and blood.

If your celebrant isn’t a Catholic or Orthodox priest*, then by Catholic understanding, you don’t have the Eucharist. You have instead Bread and wine, and a commemoration.

*Catholic or Orthodox in this case including the Coptic Orthodox Communion, Eastern Orthodox Communion, Churches in Union with Rome, The Assyrian Church of the East, the Ancient Church of the East, the ICANN, The Union of Utrecht, the PNCC, and a couple other groups.

Bluestarsneyes did write “Mother of God”, not “Mother of Jesus”. Quite a few Protestants want to deny the fact that the fullness of God was in Mary. Since life begins at conception, the moment the Holy Spirit entered Mary and Jesus was 1 cell, He was God. That, I think, is what is meant by “Mother of God” and therefore all of our Mother, as God created us in His “likeness”. Hope that helps clear things up regarding the post you were concerned about.

Most Christians, Protestant and Catholic DO believe that Jesus is God therefor Mary was the Mother of God. There is no argument in the wording.
 
BTW, why are some posters being extremely uncharitable towards the Lutheran poster who has been nothing but pleasant? There is absolutely no need for it and it shows Catholics in the wrong light. Fortunately, the Lutheran poster here, doesn’t tar everyone with the same brush. Just keep in mind, that, just because we are Catholic doesn’t mean we can be rude without consequences!

And it should be returned to the Patriarch of Constantinople, IMO…

… and returned to use as the Cathedral.
