"Does that include that you are saying the sources you linked to, are each one of them, universally & clearly supporting there is "realism" inclusive of there being corporal physical presence?"

It depends on what you mean by "corporal physical".

If you mean "physiological," no. The consecrated elements do not have the physiological characteristics of body and blood that we are familiar with (e.g. basal body temperature, red corpuscles, gaseous diffusion through cell membranes, requiring nutrition and hydration to keep on living, etc.)

If you mean Christ's real body as He lives now "at the right hand of the Father," yes. The consecrated elements do have the real nature of Christ's glorified and resurrected Body, which quite transcends all physical laws and limitations.

Please define your terms. I am interested in how you would do this.


BTW, Are you familiar with the distinction between appearance (called "accident") and essence? You don't have to use those exact terms -- the men I cited from the first five centuries of the Christian Era, didn't use those exact terms in Greek or Latin --- but it helps to understand the concepts.
