Notes
1 For an exposition of these three terms see Max Thurian, The Mystery of the Eucharist: An Ecumenical Approach (Grand Rapids, MI: Eerdmans, 1984), 55-58.
2 Vatican II, Presbyterorum Ordinis 5, citing Thomas Aquinas, Summa theologiae, III, q. 65, a. 3, ad 1; cf. q. 79, a. 1c and ad 1.
3 See Summa theologiae, III, q. 77, art. 6, “Can the species nourish” Saint Thomas refers to I Cor 11:21 and the standard commentaries to show that the species, taken in sufficient quantities, can satisfy hunger and inebriate.
4 This line of thinking, stemming from Paschasius Radbertus, is represented by Lanfranc and Guitmund of Aversa. See the forthcoming article, “Guitmund of Aversa and the Eucharistic Theology of St. Thomas” by Mark G. Vaillancourt, to be published in The Thomist 69 (October 2005).
5 Jean Borella, The Sense of the Supernatural (Edinburgh: T & T Clark, 1998), 71-77. He finds the doctrine of the “threefold body of Christ” in Ambrose, Paschasius Radbertus, and Honorius of Autun. Henri de Lubac speaks of Amalarius of Metz and Gottschalk of Orbais as representatives of this medieval doctrine. See his Corpus mysticum: L’Eucharistie et l’Eglise au Moyen Âge, 2d ed. (Paris: Aubier, 1949), 37. These theologians did not deny the real identity between the natural and eucharistic bodies of Christ.
6 Summa theologiae III, q. 76, a. 6. For a lucid commentary see Abbot Anscar Vonier, A Key to the Doctrine of the Eucharist (1923; reprinted Bethesda, MD: Zaccheus Press, 2003), 132-33.
7 Ibid., art. 8, ad 2 and ad 3.
8 Summa theologiae, III, q. 76, a. 3.
9 Ibid., q. 76, art. 7.
10 Judith Marie Kubicki attributes to Karl Rahner, Edward Schillebeeckx, and Piet Schoonenberg the position that the Church as sacrament is “the primary location of Christ’s presence in the world”. See her article “Recognizing the Presence of Christ in the Liturgical Assembly”, Theological Studies 65 (2004): 817-37, at 821.
11 Pius XII, Encyclical Mediator Dei, 20.
12 Paul VI, Encyclical Mysterium Fidei, 36.
13 John Paul II, Encyclical Ecclesia de Eucharistia, 6.
14 Typical of this point of view is the brief article, “Changing Elements or People” by F. Gerald Martin in America 182 (March 4, 2000): 22. Reacting against the tendency to separate the real presence from Holy Communion, he falls into the opposite error, belittling devotion to the reserved sacrament, as if it interfered with frequent reception.
15 The term “transfinalization” was apparently coined by the French Marist Jean de Baciocchi but was used by many others. The term “transignification” is associated in particular with the Dutch Jesuit Piet Schoonenberg. For good accounts of these trends see Joseph M. Powers, Eucharistic Theology (New York: Seabury, 1967), 111-79 and Colman O’Neill, New Approaches to the Eucharist (Staten Island, NY: Alba House, 1967), 103-26.
16 Piet Schoonenberg, “The Real Presence in Contemporary Discussion”, Theology Digest 15 (Spring 1967): 3-11, at 10.
17 I take these figures from Amy L. Florian, “Adore Te Devote”, America 182 (March 4, 2000): 18-21, at 18.
