Perhaps for both better and worse, depending on who is doing the describing. And in this, there can be agreed upon wordage, but with differing conceptualization resulting using the very same words.
Thank you for your polite reply.

If by "this" you mean Eucharistic doctrine, I can only say, "Yeah, baby!" All the words -- body, flesh, blood, true, real, literal (my bugaboo), physical, substantial ... even if the goal were to find some kind of common ground we could spend the rest of our lives on vocabulary ... and that's before words like "hylomorphism" get tossed into the salad.
Thanks for writing.
