Topic: Consubstantiation



  
 What is consubstantiation?
Consubstantiation is held by some Eastern Orthodox churches, and some other liturgical Christian denominations (Episcopal and Lutheran as examples).
Martin Luther, seen to be the founder of the Protestant Reformation, was a Roman Catholic priest who was fed up with the abuses of the Roman Catholic Church and wanted to reform the Church so it could once again return to its original roots.
Transubstantiation is a Roman Catholic dogma that stretches back to the earliest years of the Church while Consubstantiation is relatively new, arising out of the Protestant Reformation.

 Consubstantiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lutherans hold that this rejection of metaphysical explanations of Christ's presence is not contradicted by the fact that both the writings of Martin Luther and documents of the church itself often refer to the body and blood of Christ as "in, with, and under" the bread and wine.
In England in the late 14th century, there was a political and religious movement known as Lollardy.
Among much broader goals, the Lollards affirmed a form of consubstantiation -- that the Eucharist remained physically bread and wine, while becoming spiritually the body and blood of Christ.

 Consubstantial with the Father (No. 81)
The elect are consubstantial with God as Christ is consubstantial with God.
The doctrine of Consubstantiality of Jesus Christ is held by Trinitarians in an incorrect manner to effectively deny the participation of the elect in the divine nature as co-heirs with Christ.
Consubstantiability or the Son being of one substance with the Father was coupled with co-eternity with Him by J.H. Newman (ibid., Consubstantiality).

Consubstantiation is certainly not compatible with defined Catholic belief, and one who obstinately held it would without doubt be a heretic.
Transubstantiation may seem a hard saying, but it is Christ's, and the Church proclaims it joyfully as such.
I feel that Holy Mother Church leans away from the bread since the change is so dramatic that you cannot easily and very well teach this without having some confusion.

 Joel A. Brondos: Comment on Lutherans Deny Consubstantiation
While consubstantiation does not refer to the comixture of two substances, Lutheran theology does insist upon the mixture of Christ's divine and human attributes - these are related, but separate issues.
There - substantial presence with the signs equals consubstantiation; and I mean a literal definition of that word, not whatever theological connotations have attached to it over the years (perhaps whatever is assumed there is what Augsberg rejects).
I suspect the truth is that most LCMS churches hold to this view and that most laypeople within the LCMS would unhesitatingly describe their view of the Lord's Supper as "consubstantial" (if they could describe it at all).

 Ursinus on The Lord's Supper
That the doctrine of transubstantiation and consubstantiation may be rejected, and abandoned.
We have already explained what is meant by ubiquity, and given a sufficient refutation of it in the exposition of the articles relating to the personal union of the two natures in Christ, his ascension into heaven, and sitting at the right hand of God the Father, to which we refer the reader.
The ubiquitarians also acknowledge this in their writings, and have for this reason invented the doctrine of ubiquity, because they clearly saw that their views could not be sustained by the words of Christ; but would soon be overthrown if made to rest on this foundation.

 The Catholic Encyclopedia - Consubstantiation
Albertus Magnus, St. Thomas, and St. Bonaventure, maintained that the words, "This is my body", disproved it; while Alexander of Hales, Scotus, Durandus, Occam, and Pierre d'Ailly declared that it was not inconsistent with Scripture, and could only be disproved by the authority of the Fathers and the teaching of the Church (Turmel, Hist.
319 sqq.) The great Schoolmen unanimously rejected Consubstantiation, but they differed in their reasons for doing so.

The doctrine of consubstantiation allowed Lutherans to preserve their liturgical worship.
When Thomas Aquinas explicated transubtantiation, he went farther than Scripture permits: when Calvin essentially suggested that this was a spiritual union of the believer and Christ, he said less than Scripture states.
"Luther's understanding of the Eucharist is called “consubstantiation.” Christ is seen as present everywhere, but his presence is especially focused in the Eucharist.

(2) The doctrine of Consubstantiation: that Christ's real presence is communicated in the Eucharist not in the elements, but along with them in a spiritual sense.
In this view the question of the "real presence" in the Eucharist is more or less moot, since the risen Christ is always present by the Spirit in the life of the committed Christian.
I am not sure whether this also describes the view of Eastern Orthodoxy.

 Kairos
Both admit that Christ is present in the Eucharist, and both thereby require one to approach it as more than just "a symbol." The remainder seems to me one of those "faith" versus "works" argument that somewhere down the line we are going to decide isn't really much of an argument.
This argument seems to me to be very much akin to different understandings of the Atonement, which on the whole do not diverge into "orthodoxy" and "heresy." A person who believes in consubstantiation believes in the True Presence, as does a transubstantiationist.
There are very few people who realise what God would make of them if they abandoned themselves into His hands, and let themselves be formed by His grace.

Spiritual Consubstantiation: The body and blood of Christ is given, taken and eaten only after a spiritual manner and the means whereby the body and blood of Christ is received is faith.

 Transubstantiation, Real Presence
Consubstantiation is a teaching used to explain the Christian experience and conviction that Christ is truly present with his people in their celebration of the Eucharist.
Unlike the doctrine of transubstantiation, however, that of consubstantiation asserts that the substance of the bread and wine is also unchanged, the ubiquitous body of Christ coexisting "in, with, and under" the substance of the bread, and the blood of Christ in, with, and under the wine, by the power of the Word of God.
Consubstantiation rests on the same philosophical assumptions as the medieval doctrine of transubstantiation, which it opposed.

I am unsure if Catholic apologists have a Scriptural argument which supports transubstantiation over consubstantiation, or if they use a philosophical argument, or if they appeal to general church authority.
Protestants such as Luther who believe in consubstantiation still take the words "this is my body" quite literally but still maintain that bread and wine remains although co-located and infused with the presence of Christ.
This appears to be what distinguishes Catholic teachings from that which Lutherans and High Anglicans hold.

Others use various terms to signify the event, such as “consubstantiation”, which translates as the result being both bread and wine, and at the same time, the symbolic Body and Blood of Jesus Christ.

Consubstantiation is not the Lutheran doctrine of the Lord's Supper; rather, it was a competing theory to transubstantiation ventured forth by Franciscan nominanalists prior to the Reformation and was the subject of scholastic debate.
Both the Franciscans and Dominicans further agreed that Christ's physical body was in a spatial heaven, thus both theories must be interpreted in this light.
However, consubstantiation still relies on the substance/accidence distinction and further posits that a substance can be present minus its accidents, which is predicated on the notion that matter is not "true" reality.
