| | Transubstantiation - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | During the reign of Henry VIII, the official teaching of the Anglican Church was identical with the Roman Catholic Church's doctrine, in defence of which the king wrote a book for which the Pope rewarded him with the title of Defender of the Faith. | | | Elizabeth I, as part of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, gave royal assent to the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, which sought to distinguish Anglican from Roman Church doctrine. | | | For this reason the consecrated elements are preserved, generally in a church tabernacle, for giving holy communion to the sick and dying, and also for the secondary, but still highly prized, purpose of adoring Christ present in the Eucharist. |

| | What is transubstantiation? |
| | The Scriptures are wholly silent on the notion of the transubstantiation of the elements of the Lord's Supper. | | | Answer: Transubstantiation is a doctrine of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | The doctrine of transubstantiation is taught by Catholics as being found in such Scripture passages as John 6:55, which says "For my flesh is real food and my blood is real drink", and Matthew 26:26, which says "Take and eat; this is my body." However, these are clearly metaphoric. |

| | Transubstantiation also illustrates a classic case of failure of church tradition to be a standard bearer of doctrinal unity and divine truth. | | | Transubstantiation is a false doctrine because Jesus is not a liar: In Mt 26:29 after Jesus had said, "this is my blood" and prayed, he still referred to the contents as, "fruit of the vine". | | | Transubstantiation is as much an assault against scripture and the earliest apostolic traditions of the church, as it is an assault on reality and common sense. |

| | The ontology of the Holy Trinity is part of the Church’s faith in Transubstantiation. | | | The word transubstantiation is commonly used in the Roman Catholic Church to indicate that God acting in the eucharist effects a change in the inner reality of the elements. | | | Both theologians note that throughout his earthly life Jesus was nourished by eating various kinds of food and drink, which were assimilated into Jesus&; deified body and, because of the indivisible union between the divine and human natures, became his deified body. |

| | Transubstantiation and the Eucharist |
| | The Catholic Church teaches that there are many purposes of the Eucharist, and numerous spiritual benefits which accrue from partaking in Communion at Mass—provided this is undertaken in a "worthy manner" and without conscious mortal sin. | | | Once one realizes that transubstantiation is a miracle of God, any notion of impossibility vanishes, since God is omnipotent (all-powerful) and the sovereign Lord over all creation (Matthew 19:26, Philippians 3:20-21, Hebrews 1:3). | | | Indeed, transubstantiation is difficult for the natural mind (especially with its modern excessively skeptical bent) to grasp and clearly requires a great deal of faith. |

| | It is in the midst of this ferment that the term "transubstantiation" is finally coined by the Western Church in the 13th Century to more precisely define how the "being" or "substance" of the bread and wine is divinely changed into the being or substance of Christ Jesus. | | | In response to this, Pope Gregory VII writes a formal declaration of the Church's faith (reiterating the biblical and patristic teaching concerning the literalness of the Church's belief on the point) and requires Berengar to submit to it. | | | Thus, transubstantiation turns out to be, not pulled from thin air, but rooted in the same revelation the Eastern Church had tried to describe centuries before with the term meta-ousiosis. |
