The miracle of the real presence is beyond all human understanding, and the talk of substance and accidents is irrelevant.

It just is. No amount of rationalism can explain matters of faith.

This sort of question of how many angels could dance on the head of a pin is why we where have been since the 17th century.

Eastern Christianity has always believed in the real presence, and I might add no one in the East ever denied it.

So what do YOU say to someone who says medical tests could verify the real presence?

BTW, I think the question about angels and pins is perfectly reasonable and the answer knowable: as many as you please.
