Sacrifice and Presence Debate in Early Church Doctrine

The author argues against relying on Tradition to settle metaphysical questions about the Real Presence and priestly Oblation. He contends that Tradition is misused to dazzle laypeople and that Scripture and ongoing church practice should guide Sacrament forms. He defends the Eucharist’s institution and the apostolic power to offer it, while cautioning over private判断 on sacramental matter.
