text: My point exactly, you do not agree with the Catholic Church teachings on the Eucharist and the sacrificial Mass. If you don't profess the same beliefs you cannot receive the true Eucharist.  The actual body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus in the appearance of bread and wine.  It is no longer bread or wine, but his actual body and blood. We don't believe in the communal meal at the table view.  That is a huge difference in beliefs.  Any communion left over from a Lutheran service is simply considered bread and wine and is discarded, not regarded as precious  and stored in a holy tabernacle to be adored.
