"Transubstantiation is the alleged process whereby the bread and wine offered up at the communion service have their substances changed to that of the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ while their accidents remain that of bread and wine. What looks like, tastes like, etc., bread and wine is actually another substance altogether. How this happens is a mystery and defies logic. How it can happen would require a mmiracle.

In Catholicism, transubstantiation is also known as the doctrine of the real presence, though other Christian traditions mean something different by real presence."

"During the mass, priests allegedly have the power to supernaturally turn the bread and wine into the actual and literal body and blood of Jesus Christ:

The Council of Trent summarizes the Catholic faith by declaring: "Because Christ our Redeemer said that it was truly his body that he was offering under the species of bread, it has always been the conviction of the Church of God, and this holy Council now declares again, that by the consecration of the bread and wine there takes place a change of the whole substance of the bread into the substance of the body of Christ our Lord and of the whole substance of the wine into the substance of his blood. This change the holy Catholic Church has fittingly and properly called transubstantiation".
