Proclus of Constantinople and Transubstantiation

Q. Did Proclus advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?


Proclus, Bishop of Constantinople (c. ?-446 A.D.):

Instead of the manger let us venerate the altar. Instead of the Infant, let us embrace the bread that is blessed by the Infant. (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1864], Patrologiæ Græcæ, Tomus LXV, S. Procli Cp. Episcopi, Oratio In Laudem S. Stephani, Oratio XVII [Lauditio Sancti Protomartyris Stephani], § II, Col. 809). Here Trans. (J. H. Treat, The Catholic Faith; Or, Doctrines of the Church of Rome Contrary to Scripture and the Teaching of the Primitive Church, [1888], p. 194). Here
