I cannot affirm
The Roman Catholic mass
I must pass
A novel doctrine from the 14th century
This theory of transubstantiation
Is actually an abomination
Jesus died once for man
Trent defined the mass as a sacrifice
But we cannot re-sacrifice
Transubstantiation is based on
Ancient metaphysics of Aristotle
His substance and accidents model
Artistole’s theory is over 2,300 years old
Our understanding has advanced greatly
We need not rely on an antequated theory
This outdates model must go
Christ is present spiritually
The eucharist is not propitiatory

One response to “The Eucharist”
Substance, in traditional metaphysics, is the being of something of a given nature – for example, the substance of Peter is Peter himself as a man – the accidents of something are the sense characteristics that a thing (or person) has, for example that Peter is white, brown, or black, and that he is so tall and weighs so much — that is common sense, not something that is antiquated.
