VI. The Paschal Banquet
1399
The
Eastern churches that are not in full communion with the Catholic Church
celebrate the Eucharist with great love. “These Churches, although
separated from us, yet possess true sacraments, above all – by apostolic
succession – the priesthood and the Eucharist, whereby they are still joined to
us in closest intimacy.” A certain communion in sacris, and so in the
Eucharist, “given suitable circumstances and the approval of Church
authority, is not merely possible but is encouraged.”235
