the year of the eucharist


The Bishop of Rome has declared this year to be the Year of the Eucharist. His suggestions are timely and appropriate, particularly about the need for greater devotion to the presence of our Lord in the sacrament. We Anglicans can learn a good deal from our brothers and sisters across the Tiber. We tend toward slopiness and often toward a kind of gnostic dualism which fosters spiritual ill health, and is a step down the road to serious error. In general, we Anglicans need to reclaim the Godly connection between theology and piety, the goodness of the one fostering and promoting the goodness of the other.
