Reformed (Continental Reformed, Presbyterian and Congregationalist)

It is said that Calvin believed that the eucharist should be celebrated frequently but seems to have been overruled by the "city council'" But which city? It sounds like Geneva but it could be somewhere else. Furthermore there doesn't seem to be a source for this statement. Is it an accurate statement?

Large duplication and loss of focus

Under the main section Ritual and liturgy there is a huge subsection "Catholic Church". Yet this correctly immediately starts "Main article: Eucharist in the Catholic Church".

The whole purpose of such Main article:... indicators is to avoid unnecessary clogging up of the overview article (in this case, this "Eucharist" article) with detail than better belongs at that target article and to avoid duplication here at the source article. If a section says Main article:... then the section should specifically aim to be kept brief. See Template:Main.

So I propose a significant stripping down this section, to honour that idea of Main article:....

(A similar principle also applies later at subsection "Anglican", which similarly already has Main article: Anglican eucharistic theology so can be similarly stripped down to a summary.)

Any counter-thoughts?

Not only do I agree, but you've made me realize I probably need to suggest a move on Anglican eucharistic theology to Eucharist in Anglicanism. Make what changes you deem appropriate. ~ Pbritti (talk) 22:44, 1 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Missing information

The article is missing vital and widely-debated topics (particularly, regarding Catholicism):

reception of Communion by tongue or hand
receiving Communion by kneeling or standing
usage of altar rails (Communion rails), their decline, and usage in some parishes

Perhaps someone who has in-depth knowledge in these should add these information. Sanglahi86 (talk) 18:26, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
