Synod of Bishops on the Eucharist

Surely some mistake in the press release: "'It is hoped that the proposals will not repeat the traditional doctrine of the Church, but that they will be oriented to fostering a renewal of the pastoral application and liturgical celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist in the universal Church,' said Archbishop Eterovic. "

Should be:

"It is hoped that the proposals will repeat the traditional doctrine of the Church and that they will be oriented to fostering a renewal of the pastoral application and celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in the universal Church," said Archbishop Eterovic.

Clearly if the initial quote is the correct one, the great Eucharistic Congresses of the Church were just wasting their time.

And
"twice the number of representatives from other Christian confessions as before"!

What great new insight can those that do not believe in the Divine Presence in the Mass contribute to the meeting? I would love to know. The non-Catholic clerics attending will never (well, almost never) become Catholics and they block their lay people from becoming Catholics.
