	:I have been giving 12-Step retreats since 1986. I have noticed that many good people are shocked and saddened when they learn that I celebrate the Mass according to the traditions of Catholicism rather than according to the traditions of the 12-Step meetings.

The Mass belongs to the Church. It is not my personal property, nor is it subject to the authority of the 12-Step groups.		:I have been giving 12-Step retreats since 1986.

	::The Catholic Church's teaching on the relationship between priestly ministry and the Eucharist and her teaching on the Eucharistic Sacrifice have both been the subject in recent decades of a fruitful dialogue in the area of ecumenism. We must give thanks to the Blessed Trinity for the significant progress and convergence achieved in this regard, which lead us to hope one day for a full sharing of faith. Nonetheless, the observations of the Council concerning the Ecclesial Communities which arose in the West from the sixteenth century onwards and are separated from the Catholic Church remain fully pertinent: “The Ecclesial Communities separated from us lack that fullness of unity with us which should flow from Baptism, and '''we believe that especially because of the lack of the sacrament of Orders they have not preserved the genuine and total reality of the Eucharistic mystery'''. Nevertheless, when they commemorate the Lord's death and resurrection in the Holy Supper, they profess that it signifies life in communion with Christ and they await his coming in glory.~~â€~~<ref>Second Vatican Ecumenical Council, Decree on Ecumenism ''Unitatis Redintegratio'', 22.</ref>		::The Catholic Church's teaching on the relationship between priestly ministry and the Eucharist and her teaching on the Eucharistic Sacrifice have both been the subject in recent decades of a fruitful dialogue in the area of ecumenism.

The liturgy belongs to the whole Church, not just to the local congregation. The Church teaches that Communion is for members in good standing only.
