"You haven't adduced any evidence that Pound is talking about "the
ceremony of communion".  Where is communion mentioned?"

I am reproducing the quote under discussion.  Communion and mass are
mentioned in the first line.


Re European belief:  Neither mass nor communion
  are of Jew origin.  Nowt to do with that nasty old
  maniac JHV [Jehovah] and are basis of Xtn. religion.
  Mass ought to be in Latin, unless you could do it in
  Greek or Chinese.  In fact, any abracadabra that no
  bloody member of the public or a half-educated ape
  of a clargimint cd. think he understood
   (Letter to Rev. Henry Swabey, Mar. 1940).

How should we interpret Pound's use of the term "communion"?

Regards,

Wei
