Fr Peter,
Can you just tell us, in perhaps a few words, without quoting the fathers:

My Friend Epchoise,
This issue is so divisive. I really think Fr. Peter should answer. The pope's comments did, at the time, agitate some people within the Church.
We do say though that we partake of "Christ's Holy Body" - Not the 'Divine Body".
…
I know that this is a very contentious issue.
Somone pointed out to me that in their Kholagy (Liturgical book), it says "We eat your Divine Holy Body". For some reason, this is no longer in there.
I think it was an issue that divided Fr. Matta Al…

Excellent app...
They ought to have used the term "Patriarch". The Catholic Church still acknowledges that the 1st Disciples and Apostles became bishops and each bishop had their bishopric. These bishops were the 1st patriarchs of the ONE Church.
