Abstract
Abstract The Mass has a cultural significance that extends beyond the boundaries of the Roman Catholic Church. The same may be said of the Eucharist generally, which is the result of material elements, human ingenuity and skill, liturgical action, prayer, and the transformative power of Christ in the Spirit. Although the theory of signification advanced by thinkers like Louis-Marie Chauvet has been fashionable, eucharistic theology must not lose sight of the material context in which the elements, their recipients, and Christ are all situated. Neither does a radical dualism, such as that of Huldrych Zwingli, satisfy the material context given by both theological doctrine and human experience.
