First Friday bump!
That's definitely where it was defined.
But not for the first time.
Most Holy Trinity, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I adore Thee profoundly.
I offer Thee the Most Precious Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ, present in all the Tabernacles of the world, in reparation for the outrages, sacrileges and indifferences by which He is offended.
And through the infinite merits of His Most Sacred Heart, and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, I beg of Thee the conversion of poor sinners
Catholic bump.
So the article is wrong?
ask the Orthodox, who weren't at Trent, what the Eucharist is
I find no errors in the article.
What do you think is the function of a council such as Trent?
To define the meaning of the eucharist and such things.
Nope. Councils are often called to define doctrine in response to heresies that run rampant. Trent re-affirmed the belief and teaching of the Catholic Church on the Eucharist.
Fr. John HardonNot a bad answer, but it leaves out a few things. Primarily, major councils such as Trent are called to resolve disputes. They don't define "new doctrines", they either reaffirm or clarify the definitions of previous councils, or define as doctrine what had previously been the consistent, age-old belief of the faithful.
Hence, to say that Trent defined the Eucharist in a particular way is true; to say that Trent defined the Eucharist as something different from what had previously been the consistent belief of the Church is not true. That is the meaning of my remark about "not for the first time". Trent simply reaffirmed what the Church believed since the beginning. Trent was called, and issued its definitions, because a dispute had arisen.
