To what, where, in Mystici corporis is he referring?
I am not certain. It is possible that he is referring to either paragraph 27 or paragraph 82 in Mystici.
Just to recall the full context, this is about the remark of the article's author, John Allen, not Fr. Taft.
As I read this article by Allen flags start going up regarding his facts (though some of the issues may not be significant in themselves).
One point where I need clarification is where he says:
Based on the argument of St. Anselm and others that these words of Jesus created the Eucharist, traditional Catholic theology has held that a Eucharistic Prayer without the institution narrative is impossible. Pius XII, in his 1943 encyclical Mystici corporis, confirmed this position.
To what, where, in
Mystici corporis is he referring?
So, if those sections are what Allen is referring to, how can he report as factual, "... Catholic theology has held that a Eucharistic Prayer without the institution narrative is impossible. Pius XII, in his 1943 encyclical
Mystici corporis, confirmed this position"?
My problem is not with the response pointing to paragraph 27 or paragraph 82; they are properly noted. My problem is with the sweeping and unwarranted conclusion drawn by Allen.
