VI. The Paschal Banquet
1400
Ecclesial
communities derived from the Reformation and separated from the Catholic
Church, “have not preserved the proper reality of the Eucharistic mystery
in its fullness, especially because of the absence of the sacrament of Holy
Orders.”236 It is for this reason that Eucharistic intercommunion
with these communities is not possible for the Catholic Church. However these
ecclesial communities, “when they commemorate the Lord’s death and
resurrection in the Holy Supper . . . profess that it signifies life in communion
with Christ and await his coming in glory.”237
