Eucharistic Revival or Eucharistic Deception? The Neo-Church’s Banquet Without Sacrifice
National Catholic Register portal reports on a new book by Dominican “Father” Patrick Mary Briscoe, *O Sacred Banquet: Exploring the Eucharistic Mystery with Saint Thomas Aquinas* (Our Sunday Visitor, 2026), which promotes the post-conciliar “Eucharistic Revival” centered on St. Thomas Aquinas’ prayer *O Sacrum Convivium*. The article presents the Eucharist as a “banquet” of “fellowship and friendship,” emphasizing “communion,” “processions,” and “adoration” while systematically omitting the propitiatory sacrifice, the reality of transubstantiation as defined by the Council of Trent, and the necessity of the priestly offering for the remission of sins. This is not a revival of Catholic faith but a modernist reimagining of the Most Holy Sacrifice, stripping it of its sacrificial character and reducing it to a communal meal of emotional experience—precisely the error condemned by Pope St. Pius X in *Pascendi Dominici gregis* and the Council of Trent.
