Melchizedek, Bread and Wine, and Priesthood

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic, I'm joined by one of the most dynamic Catholic theologians alive today and Jewish convert to Catholicism Dr. Lawrence Feingold.

Dr. Feingold joins us to answer the question, "What are Protestants missing by missing out on the Eucharist?" and his answer is nothing short of astounding.

Using the Old and New Testaments, church history, the Early Church Fathers, and the Jewish context of Jesus's ministry to unpack and help us to understand exactly what kind of Church Christ established, why the Mass is true worship, and what's going on with the Eucharist – including the Real Presence, John 6 unlocked, and more. It's a fantastic conversation.

For more from Dr. Feingold check out his book The Eucharist: Mystery of Presence, Sacrifice and Communion.

Visit St. Paul Center's Emmaus Academy where you can see Dr. Feingold's newest course (amongst others) on the Eucharist.

You can find more of his work including hours and hours of lectures at the Association of Hebrew Catholics.
