Transubstantiation

“Transubstantiation (in Latin, transsubstantiatio) is the change whereby, according to the teaching of the Catholic Church, the bread and the wine used in the sacrament of the Eucharist become, not merely as by a sign or a figure, but also in reality the body and blood of Christ. The Catholic Church teaches that the substance or reality of the bread is changed into that of the body of Christ and the substance of the wine into that of his blood, while all that is accessible to the senses (the outward appearances – species in Latin) remains unchanged. What remains unaltered is also referred to as the ‘accidents’ of the bread and wine...” – Wikipedia

“Sacramental bread (Hostia), sometimes called the body of Christ, altar bread, the host, the Lamb or simply Communion bread, is the bread which is used in the Christian ritual of the Eucharist.” – Wikipedia

Protestants, who never understood the sophisticated philosophy of Catholicism, regularly scoffed at the notion that the host in the Catholic Mass could be transubstantiated by the priest into the actual body of Christ. They looked at the host before and after the Mass and saw no difference in its composition. Like scientists, they simply noted the phenomenal appearance of the host and concluded that it had undergone no change. They never once considered the unseen, noumenal aspect of the transition. In Catholic theology, the host never changes in terms of its appearance (its accidents). What the priest effects is a change in the substantial form, changing it from that of the bread of the host to that of the Body of Christ. It’s a noumenal process, not phenomenal. It’s a form-driven change, not a content/ matter-driven change.

The priest is an alchemist. Alchemy is all about transubstantiation: changing base metal into gold, changing base humans into Gods.

Israel and Palestine

A problem cannot be solved at the same Mythos level that created it, and no higher Mythos level is possible. Only Logos can solve Mythos problems, but Mythos people don’t understand Logos, and don’t accept it. That’s why history repeats itself. That’s why people don’t learn from history. That’s why the problems of the Middle East will go on and on.
