Let us pray
to the Lord who gives himself in the Eucharist
that this sacrament may bring us salvation and peace
Lord Jesus Christ,
you gave us the Eucharist
as the memorial of your suffering and death.
May our worship of this sacrament of your body and blood
help us to experience the salvation you won for us
and the peace of the kingdom
where you live with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

I only read the first dozen quotes or so - NONE of which indicate transubstantiation.

Sorry.

Thank you for your hard work.

Just wanted to say thank you to all of you who are contributing to this thread -- especially for your friendly and civil tone, as well as rational style of discourse with careful reference to Scripture. I'm really enjoying this conversation, and expect to learn a lot as it continues to unfold, as I am sure it will.

God bless.

As stated in a prior post, transubstansiation is not found here unless you read back into the quotes the CURRENT RCC meanings.

I might suggest you look to those that in the ninth century argued against transubstantiation as the new doctrine swept the Roman Church. I would recommend “On the Body and Blood of Our Lord” by Bertram (or Ratramn) where he argues against it. Found here ( http://books.google.com/books?id=y1wEAAAAQAAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=ratramn#PPP1,M2 )
