Theophylact of Ohrid, on 1Cor 11:21

Theophylact of Ohrid · c. 1055–1107
1Cor 11:21 · Douay-Rheims
“For every one taketh before his own supper to eat. And one indeed is hungry and another is drunk.”
On this verse:
“You have turned this Lord's Supper into your own private one. For as long as it was common, it was also called the Lord's Supper; for the Master's goods are common to all servants. But since each one hastens to eat his own supper, not waiting for the poor, but eating by himself, you have dishonored your supper, having made it private instead of the Lord's. The poor man goes hungry, while the rich man gets drunk. Thus, there are two vices: one — you despise the poor, the other — you yourselves get drunk, consuming by yourselves what you ought to have offered to the poor as well. He said expressively: "gets drunk."”
