Mass without the consecration? (Core beliefs and the human margin.)

    Recently I have been doing some research on the Assyrian Church of the East and was shocked to discover that there is no consecration at least as we know it in an overt form ("This is My Body, this is My Blood, which shall be shed for you and for many") in their Eucharistic Liturgy, now both the Copts and the Byzantines claim that it is the invocation of the Holy Ghost over the Gifts that causes God to transform them but they include the words of institution/consecration in their Communion Liturgies. Yet also shocking to me was the fact that Rome considers this Liturgy valid even though it lacks the words of consecration which nearly all (outside of some Uniates that is) Roman Catholics believe invokes God to transform the Gifts.

    Anyone have any thoughts on this?
