text: I admit I know nothing about the orthodox Liturgy, and I was very surprised to read your original comment about the non- sacrificial nature of the Orthodox Eucharist.  I was relieved to receive the response from Tridentinus who refuted your claim.  After a quick research on the matter I read the following  statement regarding the Orthodox Liturgy   "Unlike many of the Protestant bodies, the Orthodox also see the Eucharistic Liturgy as a bloodless sacrifice, during which the bread and wine we offer to God become the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ through the descent and operation of the Holy Spirit, Who effects the change." 
    It seems very similar to the Roman Catholic beliefs, No?
