Q. Did Cæsarius, Bishop of Arles advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?
Cæsarius, Bishop of Arles (c. 468/70 - 542 A.D.):
And on this account, because He was about to bear away the body which He had assumed from our eyes, and convey it to the stars, it was necessary for Him to consecrate for us upon this day the Sacrament of His body, that that might be continually honored by a mystery, which was once offered for a price; that, because redemption ran daily and without wearying for the salvation of men, the oblation also of redemption might be perpetual, and that the victim might live ever in memory, and might be always present in grace; truly a unique and perfect victim, to be estimated by faith, not by outward appearance; to be valued not by exterior sight, but by interior aspect. (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1862], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus LXXXIII, Ad S. Isidori Hispalensis Opera Appendices, Append. XII, Sermones, Sermo IV, De Corpore Et Sanguine Domini In Pascha, § 2, Col. 1225). 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. 213).
