COMMENTARY ON DISTINCTION XI.
Part I.
On the Eucharist in relation to the one who confects it.
But if it is asked, of what kind that conversion is, whether formal, etc.
DIVISION OF THE TEXT.
Above the Master treated of the Sacrament of the Eucharist in itself and in relation to the one who eats it. In this part he treats of it in relation to the one who confects it1. And this part is divided into three parts. In the first part he treats of the confecting itself. In the second, of the things consequent upon the confecting, below in the twelfth distinction, there: But if it is asked concerning the accidents which remain, etc. In the third he treats of the power of the one confecting, below in the thirteenth distinction: It is also wont to be asked, whether wicked priests, etc.
The first part has two parts. In the first part he treats of the confecting itself with respect to the act of transubstantiating; in the second, with respect to the matter, there: Under another species, for three causes. The first part has two parts. In the first he determines the truth. In the second he refutes false opinions, there: But certain ones speak thus of that conversion, etc. The first part has two. For first he determines what is to be held; second, what is to be said, there: Nor yet do some concede, etc.
Likewise the second part has two. In the first he sets down opinions. In the second he refutes, there: But that there is not there a substance except the body of Christ, etc.
TREATMENT OF THE QUESTIONS.
For the understanding of this part six [things] are asked.
First it is asked, whether in this Sacrament there is any conversion of the bread into the body of Christ.
Second, granted that there is, it is asked, whether the whole bread is converted, or whether something remains besides the accidents.
Third, granted that the whole is converted, it is asked, whether such a conversion of the bread can be called annihilation.
Fourth, granted that it cannot, it is asked, whether the bread is converted into the whole Christ, that is, into the soul and the Divinity, as into the flesh.
Fifth, whether this conversion is sudden or successive.
Sixth and last it is asked, by what words that conversion is to be expressed.
SINGLE ARTICLE.
On transubstantiation.
QUESTION I.
Whether in the Sacrament of the Eucharist there is a true conversion of the bread into the body of Christ.
