From Max Thurian’s The Eucharistic Memorial (I): “The unity of Christians cannot be achieved by the study of history and its unfortunate lapses, nor by an ecclesiastical policy motivated by a generous charity, nor even by ecumenical gatherings at which an attempt is made to arrive at a compromise. Above all we must listen together to the Word of God, with the assistance of the earliest interpreters and doctors of the Church from the period when, though persecuted, she still enjoyed a more living and wider unity. Ecumenical gatherings should be biblical if they are to achieve any result and so prepare the way for that visible unity that God will reveal when we are ready to recognize it. The problem of the eucharistic sacrifice, like all other problems, must first of all be studied at the biblical level,” (pg. 14).
