ABSTRACT

The notion of transubstantiation inevitably brings with it the echo of contested religious dogmas, debates about and within the Reformation that have never really concluded.1 With the term 'transubstantiation' we essentially define a process whereby, through a change of substance in a condition of unchanged external species, a phenomenon of presentification, of actualisation of mystic potentialities takes place. In other words, a process whose final effect is to 'make it real'.
