The Dogmas of the Eucharist

Catholic dogmas are truths revealed by God that the Church has declared to be incontrovertibly true.

However, when Catholics begin to ignore these truths, they will no longer respect the truth about God, and in turn, they will no longer respect God Himself.

They will say they respect God, but in the way they see fit. but their actions will actually prove otherwise. Without respect for the truth, Christ our King - our God is literally trampled on.

Catholic Dogmas

Christ’s Real Presence according to the Testimony of Holy Scripture

  • The Body and Blood of Jesus Christ are truly, really and substantially present in the Eucharist.

Dogma and Concept of Transubstantiation

  • Christ becomes present in the Sacrament of the Altar by the transformation of the whole substance of the bread into His Body and of the whole substance of the wine into His Blood.

The Sacramental Accidents

  • The Accidents of bread and wine continue after the change of the substance.

The Totality of the Presence

  • The Body and the Blood of Christ together with His Soul and His Divinity and therefore the Whole Christ are truly present in the Eucharist.

  • The Whole Christ is present under each of the two Species.

  • When either consecrated species is divided the Whole Christ is present in each part of the species.

The Permanence of the Real Presence

  • After the Consecration has been completed the Body and Blood are permanently present in the Eucharist.

The Adoration due to the Eucharist

  • The Worship of Adoration (latria) must be given to Christ present in the Eucharist.

The Sacramental Nature of the Eucharist

  • The Eucharist is a true Sacrament instituted by Christ.

Council of Trent on the Most Holy Sacrament of the Eucharist

CANON III: If any one denieth, that, in the venerable sacrament of the Eucharist, the whole Christ is contained under each species, and under every part of each species, when separated; let him be anathema.

CANON IV: If any one saith, that, after the consecration is completed, the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ are not in the admirable sacrament of the Eucharist, but (are there) only during the use, whilst it is being taken, and not either before or after; and that, in the hosts, or consecrated particles, which are reserved or which remain after communion, the true Body of the Lord remaineth not; let him be anathema.

Catechism of the Catholic Church

CCC 1377: The Eucharistic presence of Christ begins at the moment of the consecration and endures as long as the Eucharistic species subsist. Christ is present whole and entire in each of the species and whole and entire in each of their parts, in such a way that the breaking of the bread does not divide Christ.
