Abstract

“Eucharist” constitutes a transliteration of Greek “eucharistía”, `thanksgiving', the name that the Church Fathers assigned to the Lord’s Supper, the rite/symbol whereby Christians commemorate Christ´s sacrifice in the cross, when he renounced his life in order to grant eternal salvation to those who believe in Him. But, in spite of its importance within Christian faith - or perhaps because of it – not all Christians understand the “commemoration” of the “Eucharist” in the same way. In the present work, based on the principles of the Sociology of religion – in “hybridization” with other Religion sciences, and with Biblical and Language sciences - the existing unfathomability between the socializations of the two most disparate religious interpretations is analyzed: the Catholic Church´s own stand and that stemming from the “Radical” Reformation
