motives 608; the extraordinary minister is a priest having the faculty from the Supreme Pontiff 543, 573 f., 697, C782 sec. 2. Cf. above AAS 38 (1946) 349 ff. (The Power of the Greek priests 1459n).

The subject is anyone baptized 465, 871, C786 (even an infant 98); he is not bound however by a necessity of means of salvation 52e, C787, anyone contemning it sins mortally 669.

The Eucharist

The Real Presence; the Sacrament

XII f  The presence of Christ in the Eucharist is true, real, identical 355, 414, 424, 430, 465, 544, 574a, 583, 666, 698, 717 f., 874 ff., 883 ff., 890, 997, 1469, 5004, not only with regard to His divinity 717 f.; it is accomplished by transubstantiation 355, 416, 424, 430, 465, 544, 581, 666, 698, 715, 877, 884, 997, 1469, 1529, 1919, 3018, which is not impanation 1845; the substances of bread and wine cease 581 f., 877, 884; likewise the nature of bread with its elements 1843 ff., the appearances (accidents) remaining without a subject 416, 582, 884; and by force of the words the body and blood of Christ exist under the different appearances, the rest by concomitance 876, 885, 1921, and that not only in use 715, 876, 886, but as long as the appearances remain 578 ff., so that Christ is whole under each appearance 626, 667, 698, 874, 932, 936, 997, 1469, and (when a separation is made) under each part 698, 876, 885, 1469, 1921; which mode of existing is sacramental, not natural 874; this transubstantiation concerning which the faithful are explicitly to be taught 1529, was not rightly explained by Rosmini and others 1843 ff., 1919 ff.

Essence: The Eucharist is a true sacrament 367, 402, 430, 437, 465, 542, 626, 666, 698, instituted by Christ at the last supper 874 f., 2045, as a symbol of mystical union 873a, 875, 882.

The Matter is wheat bread 692, 698, 715, 876, C815 sec. 1, either without leaven (among those of the Latin Church) 350, 465, 692, or leavened (among the Greeks) 692, C816, and wine of grapes 414, 416, 430, 698, 945, 956, C815 sec. 2 (which, where there is need, may be allowed to boil to 65° 1937, and to have an alcoholic strength of 12% or 18% 1938); with which a little water ought to be mixed 416, 441, 452, 698, C814, because of the mystical signification 698, 945, 956; the water however is not changed into phlegm 416 f.

The Form is the words of Christ 414, 424, 452, 698, 715, 876, 938, not however the epiclesis 416 f.

The Minister: A priest rightly ordained having the proper intention validly consecrates 424, 430, 574a, 715, C802, not however a deacon 53*, C802, nor anyone else (although holy) 424, 430, 574a; for lawfulness the state of grace is required 418, 880, C807.

Worship: The Eucharist is to be kept (not beyond fifteen days 452) 879, 886, 889, C1265, and honored with a worship of latria 878, 888, C1255, even by the perfect 478.

Communion

XII g  Consuming the Eucharist is distinguished in three ways: sacramental, spiritual and both together 881, 890, C863; the sacramental is in this life alone and is had only in the New Testament 1922; the whole Christ is consumed under each appearance 626, 876, 932, 936, hence communion can be made under either appearance alone 626, 931, 935, while the consuming of the chalice is not of divine precept for those not sacrificing 930, 934 ff.; for this reason communion under one appearance is to be preserved (according to the statute of the Church 626, 931, 935) 626, 668, 756, C852, it is to be distributed to the faithful ordinarily by a priest 881 f., 892, C845 sec. 1, extraordinarily by a deacon C845 sec. 2.

The subject: Children are not obliged to receive communion 933, 937 C854, sec. 1, but those who reach the age
