Eucharisty, Intercommunion and Ecumenical Dialogue for an Eucharistic Ecclesiology

Abstract

Beyond doubt, dialogue is not always easy and quick, especially regarding the difficulty in individualizing the interlocutors. However, this same dialogue has proved in recent years by the Church and churches, no more stranger to the modern world and its problems, but also to other Christian communities and non-Christian Religions, with a spirit of understanding and compassion, to make all men participants of the goods that come from the message of Christ and salvation He brought to humanity. Sacrament of piety, a sign of unity, the Eucharist is a bond of charity. But at the same time, it is the sacrament of division, as well as the Church itself divided, an obstacle and scandal to evangelism. Attempts of approach, voices from the Christian East and West try to mitigate the situation and propose an Eucharistic ecclesiology in light of the most genuine Ecclesiology of Communion.
