Q76 Of The Way In Which Christ Is In This Sacrament
< previous   Prologue   next >

Prologue   A1   A2   A3   A4   A5   A6   A7   A8  

We have now to consider the manner in which Christ exists in this sacrament; and under this head there are eight points of inquiry:

A1 Whether the whole Christ is under this sacrament?

A2 Whether the entire Christ is under each species of the sacrament?

A3 Whether the entire Christ is under every part of the species?

A4 Whether all the dimensions of Christ's body are in this sacrament?

A5 Whether the body of Christ is in this sacrament locally?

A6 Whether after the consecration, the body of Christ is moved when the host or chalice is moved?

A7 Whether Christ's body, as it is in this sacrament, can be seen by the eye?

A8 Whether the true body of Christ remains in this sacrament when He is seen under the appearance of a child or of flesh?
