The Eucharist feeds and forms the Church: 'Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread' (1 Cor 10:17, RSV). Because of this vital link with the sacrament of the Body and Blood of the Lord, the mystery of the Church is savored, proclaimed, and lived supremely in the Eucharist.

    Pope John Paul II (2000). “Celebrate the Third Millennium: Facing the Future with Hope”, G K Hall & Company

But in the Catholic church, the sacrament of marriage is defined officially as the union of a man and a woman.
