Excerpt
Excerpt: The mediaeval doctrine of Transubstantiation is truly the very heart of the sacramental system in general and of Romanism in particular. This theory holds that at the words of consecration by a priest, bread and wine (while preserving their 'accidents' or appearances as such) become changed into the body and blood and indeed the entire divinity and humanity of the Saviour - so that all who then consume such (whether believers or not) have thereby physically consumed Christ Himself. // 2. Some of the stranger attempts of Rome to defend this view (first doctrinally determined at the Fourth Lateran Council of A.D. 1215f), include appeals to Exodus 7:9-12 and various Johannine pronouncements that Christ has come in the flesh. In the first passage, however - where God predicts the staff of Moses would turn into a serpent - Rome forgets that, after it occurred, this staff had lost its 'accidents' and really looked like a serpent ? and that it gobbled up the de-staffed serpents of the sorcerers. But after consecration, the Romish Mass still looks like bread and wine!
