Is this similar to conservative Lutheran teaching which says the Body and Blood of Christ are present supernaturally? Or maybe I should ask, how is it different?
Curious.

Catholics believe that the bread and wine become the very body and blood, soul and divinity of Christ, even though it looks like bread and wine...this is transubstantiation.
What you described is consubstantiation. "According to it, the substance of Christ's Body exists together with the substance of bread, and in like manner the substance of His Blood together with the substance of wine." - from the Catholic Encyclopedia
