Editing Transubstantiation (section)

==== Opinions of some individuals (not necessarily typical) ====
In 2017 Irish Augustinian Gabriel Daly said that the Council of Trent approved use of the term "transubstantiation" as suitable and proper, but did not make it obligatory, and he suggested that its continued use is partly to blame for lack of progress towards sharing of the Eucharist between [[Protestantism|Protestants]] and Catholics.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Catholics should 'stop talking' of transubstantiation |url=https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/7581/catholics-should-stop-talking-of-transubstantiation |access-date=2019-12-31 |website=The Tablet |language=en |archive-date=2019-12-31 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191231221606/https://www.thetablet.co.uk/news/7581/catholics-should-stop-talking-of-transubstantiation |url-status=dead }}</ref>

[[Traditionalist Catholicism|Traditionalist Catholic]] Paolo Pasqualucci said that the absence of the term in the [[Second Vatican Council]]'s constitution on the liturgy ''[[Sacrosanctum Concilium]]'' means that it presents the [[Catholic Mass]] "in the manner of the Protestants". To this [[Dave Armstrong (Catholic apologist)|Dave Armstrong]] replied that "the {{em|word}} may not be present; but the {{em|concept}} is".<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-07-22 |title=Vs.

[[Thomas J. Reese]] commented that "using Aristotelian concepts to explain Catholic mysteries in the 21st century is a fool's errand", while Timothy O'Malley remarked that "it is possible to teach the doctrine of transubstantiation without using the words 'substance' and 'accidents'. If the word 'substance' scares people off, you can say, 'what it really is', and that is what substance is. What it really is, what it absolutely is at its heart is Christ's body and blood".<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Real Presence: What do Catholics believe and how can the Church respond? {{!}} Southern Cross Online Edition |url=https://www.archbalt.org/the-real-presence-what-do-catholics-believe-and-how-church-can-respond/ |access-date=2020-01-02 |website=southerncross.diosav.org|date=25 August 2019 }}</ref>
