“Eucharist of Equals” unites Catholic organizations in response to U.S. Bishops’ ‘revival’
A “Eucharist of Equals: Liturgy of Love” hosted by Roman Catholic Womenpriests - USA (RCWP), on July 21, 2024, 11am EDT in Indianapolis, is co-sponsored by Catholic Women's Ordination - UK, Catholics for Choice, Dignity USA, FutureChurch, Mary’s Pence, Root & Branch, WATER (Women's Alliance for Theology, Ethics, and Ritual), Women-Church Convergence, Women's Ordination Conference, and Women's Ordination Worldwide as a collaborative response to the US Bishops’ “revival.”
The organizations are united in their theology that Eucharistic is a sacrament of love, not a weapon of exclusion.
“Eucharist of Equals: Liturgy of Love” is grounded in the Vatican II theology of communion and the Council’s call to respond to the signs of the times. “Eucharist of Equals” joyfully welcomes people of all genders, sexualities, and marital statuses, and all ecumenical friends to the communion table. Women and people of all genders celebrate Mass as qualified, ordained priests, by virtue of the one sacrament of baptism, bringing the fullness of our gifts.
Reflecting that “Christ is always present in his Church, especially in her liturgical celebrations,” (The Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, Sacrosanctum Concilium), the “Eucharist of Equals: Liturgy of Love” will provide a stark theological contrast to the US Bishops’ mass. Christ doesn’t “arrive” but is ever present in the People of God, the Word, the priests, and in the Eucharist prayed together. The Eucharistic Congress is advertising the moment when Jesus “arrives” at Lucas Oil Stadium, as the “ Real Presence” in a massive golden monstrance, in a theatrical act of objectification.
