The Eucharist and the Bridegroom

Since some of us are still discussing the issue of sacramental priesthood and women...

The Eucharist is the Sacrament of our Redemption. It is the Sacramentof the Bridegroom and the Bride... Christ is united with this 'body' as the bridegroom with the bride... Since Christ, in instituting the Eucharist, linked it in a such an explicit way to the priestly service of the Apostles, it is legitimate to conclude that he thereby wished to express the relationship between man and woman
