I don't know what I expect to get from this guy, he's already told me he personally believes in transubstantiation, but doesn't care if his flock believes in transubstantiation.
How can a pastor be so indifferent to his job, which is to convince his flock of the truth of the Gospels that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood of Christ?
What can I gain from a denomination that employs such a pastor to lead a parish?
The only reason I'm considering this change is because if I got married again I would be barred from the Eucharist by the Catholic Church.
But what's the point of taking Eucharist at a Church where even the pastor doesn't care if you believe in what the Eucharist really is?
Also, it would be like going from eating real food to eating sawdust because according to the Catholic Church, the Episcopalian Eucharist is no longer valid since they ordain women as bishops, thus breaking Apostolic Succession.
So, really why am I bothering to talk to this Episcopalian pastor?
