From the beginnings of the Church, the confession of sins has been part of the reception of the Holy Eucharist, this episode looks at the historical reasons for that connection from the Apostolic times through the Middle Ages and what that connection shows us about our own connection to the Body of Christ. Plus, listener feedback on Elvis and the Catholic Church.

In response to a reader question, we take a look at the difference between Catholic and Lutheran beliefs about the Eucharist and whether Lutherans can receive Communion in Catholic Churches.
