Summary/Abstract: The Divine Eucharist and the unity of the Romanian Church with the Roman Pontiff. The body of our Lord Jesus Christ, indeed present, real and substantial under the species consecrated in the sacrament of the Holy Eucharist, is inseparable from the mystical body of Christ which is the Church, so that in every valid Eucharistic celebration the Church of Christ is found. The valid celebration of the Eucharist requires, at least from an objective point of view, communion with the whole Church seen as a visible society. This communion is full if it is carried out both emotionally and effectively around the one who is the social and visible guarantor of unity in the Church; the one who, by the fundamental will of Christ, is the successor of St. Peter, is the Roman Pontiff. Therefore, the path to unity is the path to ecclesial fullness. The Romanian Church United with Rome, Greek-Catholic, reached this fullness.
