Catechism Paragraph

¶ 1413

In Brief
By the consecration the transubstantiation of the Bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is Brought about. Under the Consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his Soul and his divinity (cf. Council of Trent: DS 1640; 1651).
