Lutheran leader seeks Communion agreement with pope | The Christian Century

ROME (RNS/ENInews) The president of the Lutheran World Federation is calling on Lutherans and Catholics to issue a common statement on Holy Communion to mark the 500th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation in 2017.

"Our intention is to arrive at 2017 with a common Roman Catholic-Lutheran declaration on Eucharistic hospitality," Bishop Munib Younan told the Italian Protestant news agency NEV before meeting with Pope Benedict XVI on Thursday (Dec. 16).

"Eucharistic hospitality," means that Catholics would be able to receive Communion at Lutheran worship services, and Lutherans would be able to do the same at a Catholic Mass.

Sorry Mr. Munib Younan, but this cannot happen unless you and your flock come into and accept all the teachings of the Roman Catholic Faith and are ordained to the real priesthood. Only a validly ordained priest can confect the Eucharist and offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass. Protestant ministers do not and cannot offer and consecrate the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ! Convert to the true faith of Jesus Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life!
