even among groups within the
Catholic Church.
“We live in a church whose mem
bers appear all too ready to line up
around various issues, one against the
other, this group against that,” he
said. “In such a milieu, reconciliation
is not simply desirable, but required.
What is more, it is required not only
of those who are in positions of lead
ership in the church, but of all bap

said, should be a matter of “gathering

“The ethical link between liturgy
and life is direct and immediate. The
Eucharist is not a ‘private gift’ to
comfort and console the cognoscenti,
the privileged, the religiously elite,
the faithful few; the Eucharist is a
communal sacrament whose purpose
is to transform those who celebrate it
into the very thing they celebrate—
the body of Christ broken like bread
and poured out like wine for the life
of the world,” he said.
