In addition to the centralized administration or leadership of the Roman Catholic Church compared to the decentralized operations of the Episcopal Church, there is also a very large theological difference between the two churches.  The fact is the Roman Catholic Church believes that during Mass, after the consecration of the Eucharist, the bread and wine are no loner bread and wine but rather they have been changed into the true body and blood of Jesus Christ Himself, existing under the appearance of bread and wine.  On the other hand, the Episcopal Church believes that the bead ad wine continue to be just bread and wine and are merely representations of the body and blood of Jesus Christ.  This is a major difference between the Roman Catholic Church and the Episcopal Church, and in fact between the Catholic Church and ALL other Christian religions.
