Divided at the Table: Anglican and Catholic Views on the Mass
FACTS

September 21, 2025
In this episode, we bring together two leading voices to discuss one of the most important and often debated questions in Christian worship: the nature of the Mass. Roman Catholic apologist Erick Ybarra and Anglican theologian Sean Luke join Dr. Stephen Boyce for a thoughtful dialogue on how their traditions understand the Eucharist.
We explore key issues such as:
• The Catholic teaching of the Real Presence and the doctrine of transubstantiation
• The Anglican view of the Holy Communion and the debate over sacramental presence
• The role of the priesthood, liturgy, and authority in shaping each tradition’s practice
• The shared history of the Eucharist from the early Church to the Reformation and beyond
Whether you are Anglican, Catholic, or simply curious about Christian theology, this conversation offers an in-depth look at how two historic traditions approach the same sacrament in very different ways.
