Saw Blessing of Animals / Episcopal Church

[Lia Laura Puglesi]

Hi: now that I have read your email I understand a little better why there are slight differences in the Catholic and the Episcopalian" Creed and the ceremony of the blessing of the Eucharist.  So, the Eucharist would be, in the Episcopalian church, mainly symbolic and commemorative of the last supper in an attempt to make human kind to remember that Jesus died for our sins and to liberate us but every time you take the Eucharist you are not taking part of the last supper but commemorating it and you are not having, as catholic church believe, the "body and blood of Christ" but remembering and honoring Christ last supper. Am I close? And still, it is a sacrament and more important than the rest of the actions that the Catholic Church also consider sacraments. I know it is too simplistic but, could we say that, while Catholics believe they are in the present of the celebration of the eucharistic I mean, attending "the real thing" people from the Episcopalian Church are commem!
orating and remembering something that happens in the past and is important to be remembered as it provides a guide through every day life?

As for the existence of purgatory, I am not sure the Church is unanimous in its opinion. I have heard different things.
