>> Rome asserts that it IS human meat. <<

Are you joking? That statement is so shockingly removed from anything resembling the truth, I can only suppose you are joking. According to Aquinas’ formulation the substance of the Eucharist changes, but the accidents do not. Accidents are the attributes and modes of a substance. When water changes to ice, several of the accidents change, but the substance remains the same (H2O). When bread changes into the Eucharist, the substance changes, but the accidents do not. The properties of meat are those which mortal flesh retains, but which aren’t common to the Eucharist.

When bread changes into the Eucharist, the substance changes, but the accidents do not.

But how do you know that the substance has changed if the accidents always remain the same?

Very well, then the Eucharist is not the actual, real flesh and blood of Christ.
