Q. Did Christianus Druthmarus advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?
Christianus Druthmarus, Abbot of Corbie (c. 9th Century A.D.):
He gave to His disciples the Sacrament of His body, —that being made mindful of Him, they should never be forgetful to do this in a figure, which He was about to do for them. ‘This is My body,’ that is, in a Sacrament. —For wine both cheers us and increases our blood. And therefore not unfittingly the blood of Christ is figured by it. —In tine, just as someone departing on a journey leaves to his friends some bond of love, for this reason, that they may do these things every day, that they may not be forgetful of him; so God commands us to do, spiritually transferring His body into bread, and wine into Ilis blood, that by these two we might be mindful of what He did for us. (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1864], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus CVI, Christiani Druthmari Corbeiensis Monachi, Expositio In Matthæum, Col. 1476). 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. 241). Here
