| | Real Presence - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The Real Presence is the term various Christian traditions use to express their belief that, in the Eucharist, Jesus the Christ is really (and not merely symbolically, figuratively or by his power) present in what was previously just bread and wine. | | | Many Christian churches holding to a doctrine of the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist (for example, Roman Catholics and Orthodox) require ordained clergy to officiate at the Eucharist, consecrating and distributing the elements to communicants. | | | The Lutheran doctrine of the Real Presence is more accurately and formally known as "the Sacramental Union." It has been called "consubstantiation" by some, but this term is rejected by Lutheran churches and theologians as it creates confusion about the actual doctrine. |

| | Real Presence is the belief that Jesus is truly present, body, blood, soul, and divinity, in the Eucharist. | | | According to the Roman Catholic and Orthodox traditions, the "Real Presence" reflects the nature of the elements after the Consecration; according to Catholic doctrine, at the moment of Consecration, the elements (or "gifts" as they are termed for liturgical purposes) are transformed (literally transubstantiated) into the actual Body and Blood of Christ. | | | In which it is believed that, instead of Christ's body and blood coming down to inhabit the elements, the faithful are, by faith and in the Holy Spirit, taken to the right hand of the Father to feed spiritually on the risen, glorified Christ. |

| | WELS Questions and Answers-- Communion - Real Presence |
| | The belief in the real presence of Christ's body and blood does not depend on this verse alone since it is also taught in the words of institution and in Paul's commentary on the Lord's Supper in 1 Corinthians 11. | | | In a very real way the body of Jesus Christ is omnipresent, since this attribute or characteristic of his divine nature is shared with his human nature and the body he took on in the incarnation. | | | This language is reflected in the Reformed view of Christ's presence in the Lord's supper as a spiritual presence according to which the body and blood of Christ, now in heaven, are mediated to believers by the power of the Spirit. |

| | What Do We Mean "Real Presence"? |
| | We can affirm the ‘real’ presence of Christ which non-Catholics affirm in the fellowship of the church, in the preaching of the gospel and in the celebration of the Eucharist, but we must also affirm that the fullest sense of the ‘real presence’ is that which we worship in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar. | | | Pusey believed that the ‘real presence’ of Christ in the sacrament was only a spiritual and sacramental presence. | | | An Anglican evangelical might say, "There is a real sense in which Christ is present as the church gathers—for the Church too is the Body of Christ." An Anglo-Catholic would say there is a real, objective abiding spiritual presence of Christ when the Eucharist is celebrated. |

| | True Presence or Real Presence |
| | Christ has a true presence in the Holy Eucharist, but also in His mystical Body, in His Scriptures, in his minister the priest, in the person in the state of grace. | | | This is why the Church uses the term Real Presence to uniquely distinguish His Presence in the Blessed Sacrament from His presence in other contexts. | | | True Presence says something accurate, but it is an inadequate term because it doesn't distinguish the manner in which Christ is present. |

| | This notion of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist is perhaps the single most misunderstood tenet of the Catholic faith, and the one for which we are most often ridiculed by others. | | | The purpose of this exercise is to (hopefully) establish the truth of this mystery by appealing mainly to reason, not faith or scripture. | | | Nothing is more complex than explaining transubstantiation – the Catholic belief that communion bread and wine actually changes into the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ during the Eucharist. |

| | If the real presence of Christ is in his people, because He has given that gift to them, then share that presence with the world, it will do more good, and more converting of minds, spirits and souls than any number of words could ever do. | | | So, the eucharist really is in substance the body and blood of Christ, but it is also a symbol of our common meal as Christians (among other things), and it is a sign (bread) that signifies the spiritual nourishment it provides. |

| | Donald Keefe - The Reality of the Real Presence |
| | It is evident from the context in which this denial was placed that the "physical presence" he had in view is one which would submit the Eucharistic Christ to the accidents of space and time -- a view of the Real Presence that is clearly ruled out by the Church's historical tradition. | | | To avoid misunderstanding this sacramental presence which surpasses the laws of nature and constitutes the greatest miracle of its kind we must listen with docility to the voice of the teaching and praying Church. | | | Thus the conviction that the Real Presence is properly called "substantial" was firmly in place more than a century before Saint Thomas spoke of the Eucharistic presence of Christ as a presence "per modum substantiae", i.e., in the manner of substance. |
