—There is a significant con
vergence in the practice of Eu
charistic worship.
On the second point of discus
sion, the presence of Christ in
the Lord’s Supper, agreement
was not so sweeping. Neverthe
less, both groups emphasized that
Christ is present in the Lord’s
Supper as true God and true
man, wholly and entirely, in His
body and blood, under the signs
of bread and wine.
Lutheran representatives, how- >
ever, while agreeing that Christ
is genuinely present in the Eu
charist, insisted that “we are un
able at present to speak with one
voice at every point.” Outlining
specific agreement and disagree
ment, the Lutheran authors of
the statement criticize Catholi
cism’s dependence on the term
“transubstantiation.”
“It can thus be seen,” the state
ment adds, “that there is agree
ment on the ‘that,’ the full reality
of Christ’s presence. What has
been disputed is a particular way
of stating the ‘how,’ the manner
in which He becomes present.”
The text was prepared and is
sued by theologians participating
in a series of bilateral consulta
tions between the Catholic and
Lutheran communities in the
United States. Earlier reports
published by the consultation in
clude “The Status of the Nicene ^
Creed as Dogma of the Church,”
published in 1965, and “One Bap
tism for the Remission of Sins,”
published in 1966.
