Transubstantiation
The
Catholic Church through history approached her faith life
with the clarification of language. That is, she translated the
essentials of revealed faith into the vocabulary of living
language.
To the revealed Word
that there is "Father, Son and
Holy Spirit" the
Church labeled the belief "Trinity."
To the revealed Word
that the "Son of God became man"
the Church labeled
the belief "Incarnation."
To the revealed Word
that the "blood of Christ spilled
on Calvary saved
us" the Church labeled the belief
"Redemption."
To the revealed Word
that "my flesh is true food, my
blood is true
drink" the Church labeled the belief
"Transubstantiation."
