I like to imagine an ecumenical dialogue in my head between a Catholic child who just took first communion, and a Baptist child of the same age who just came forward, "got saved," and then was baptized. The experience of Christ "living in my heart" would be just as real for each, though the sacramental point of view of the Catholic child might make the experience both more explicable and more visceral.Jack DisPennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01999955744311475772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6204664686568393114.post-21850262787544637072016-07-25T15:32:07.002-07:002016-07-25T15:32:07.002-07:00Perhaps a more precise way of putting it is that t...Perhaps a more precise way of putting it is that the Catholic Church understands it both in terms of spiritual communion and physical communion which transform the soul and all its faculties, while Evangelicals tend to understand it as a spiritual communion which manifests itself in a conversion of one's lifestyle (including the physical parts).
