1215 doctrine of Transubstantiation promulgated by Pope Innocent III as official dogma of the church. (it had been debated since the second century)

I am unaware of any controversy until the 9th century. Who was debating it in the second?

You make the assumption it was a common belief..but it was not "mandatory " for a Catholic to believe it untill the 1200's..It was a matter of personal faith.

The Epistles are the doctrinal teachings of the new church written by those that were there..not one reference to the bread being the actual body of Christ..a rememberance to be treated solomely like the passover..a holy time of Gods presence..but no mention that even the disciples that were there understood it to be the actual body..
