What does the belief in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist refer to?
The real presences of Christ in the Eucharist refer to the change that Catholics believe would happen in the inner nature of the consecrated bread and wine even though the appearance of the bread and wine does not change. The inner natures of the bread and wine becomes the body and blood of Christ and that Christ is really under the presence of the bread and wine.

13. The Second Vatican Council tells us that the Eucharist is the "source and summit of the Christian life". Explain what you think this means.
The Second Vatican Council tells us that the Eucharist is the “source and summits of the Christian life”, this is because they emphasise the real presence of Jesus under the appearance of the bread and wine as well as the priest who celebrates the Eucharist, the Scriptures that are read aloud, and in the gathered community. The Eucharist was described as a holy meal of the community by the Second Vatican Community.

    The main points that I learnt from Week One’s lecture material are simplistic, but I believe each is important and fundamental to my further knowledge and understanding of TH 250 – Christology. Firstly, a basic definition of topic: Christology is the study of the person of Jesus as the Christ: the Anointed One, The Messiah and the One who saves. Secondly, Jesus is the foundation stone of a belief that God is present in the world and that God can be known and experienced. And the heart of an act of faith: a people trusting and knowing that God sent Jesus.…

    The articles labeled “Huldrich Zwubgli” and “Edward Schillebeeckx On The Real Prescense” both state the writers’’ views on the issue of whether we should consider the Lord’s supper to be “sacraments” or “ordinances.” A sacrament is a religious ceremony or act that symbolizes spiritual reality through a visible sign.

    The Eucharist becomes the focus of chapters 9 and 10 of the Didache which concerns the thanks over the cup and bread. According to the Didache 9:2, over the cup one would say “We thank you, our Father, for the holy vine of David your servant, which you made known to us through Jesus your servant. To you be the glory forever.” This formula of speech is derived from the Jewish blessing over the wine which in English goes "Blessed art thou, oh Lord our God, King of the universe, Creator of the fruit of the vine.”…

    Although there are clear differences between the ideals of Catholic and Protestant faith, I believe that by the end of the reign of Elizabeth I, English Christianity was a fusion of old Catholic tradition still battling the ideas of Protestant reformation. I will demonstrate this in this essay by establishing catholic traditions, analysing what changes the protestants wished to make and finally evaluating their effect. There are three traditions that stand out within the practises of the Catholic Church, iconography, rituals and community life. We can explore these through 'Long Melford Church Before the Reformation ' in which Roger Martyn recounts his boyhood memories of the traditions of the Catholic Church. The use of images in the Catholic…

    Our consumption of the Eucharist means we are consumed into the body of Christ, and therefore we are all connected through this act, thus when one hurts, we all do, because “when we consume the Eucharist, we become one with others and share their fate” and it is through this act that “we participate in the divine life so that we are fed and simultaneously become food for others” (2008:95/97). Therefore, he concludes that the Eucharist tells a different story of consumption, one in which “the insatiability of human desire is absorbed by the abundance of God’s grace in the gift of the body and the blood of Christ”…
