I know it is a Donatist heresey to believe that an unholy priest can not perform the ritual of the Eucharist. But I am wondering if he gets mad sitting in the chalice when a wayward priests transubstantiates?

Jesus knows the weakness of human beings. He does not want any of us to be lost or ignorant of the gospel. Jesus would be sad, but not mad. You are dealing with a tradition. It is far better to discern the body and blood of Jesus on the Cross, than by bread and wine.

I think that the Church has the Mind of Christ - as she is the Body of which Jesus Christ is the Head and all Baptized persons are the members. And - since (as you rightly point out) - belief that the unworthiness of the Priest adversely affects the Eucharistic Sacrament has been condemned as Donatism, I don't think it matters to Him.
Remember what Jesus Himself said in Mark 9:38-41 "And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall do a miracle in my name, that can lightly speak evil of me. For he that is not against us is on our part. For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward."

transubstantiation is a pagan myth.
Jesus said "do this in remembrance of Me"

None of the above has any Bible basis.
