Ablutions, Signs, and Transubstantiation


Thread by @cath_cov on Thread Reader App – Thread Reader App

"Thomas is committed to the idea that the risen Christ is naturally in heaven and in heaven only" (p.113).

Which might leads us to point to the Thomist heart of the Black Rubric:

"and the natural Body and Blood of our Saviour Christ are in Heaven, and not here".
An interesting summary of the views of Thomas on the ablutions. A small amount of remaining wine in the chalice mixed with the water of the ablutions, because it ceases to be the sacramental sign of wine, is not the blood of Christ (p.125).
I am adding this (p.134) to the file 'Article 29 and Thomas are not that far apart'.
