Q. Did Facundus advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?
Facundus, Bishop of Hermiane (c. 6th Century):
The sacrament of adoption may be called adoption itself, as we term the sacrament of his body and blood, which is in the bread and the consecrated cup, his body and blood; not that the bread is properly [proprie] his body and the cup his blood, but because they contain within them the mystery of his body and blood. (Defense of the Council of Chalcedon, Bk. 9, Ch. 5) see (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1848], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus LXVII, Pro Defensione Trium Capitul., Lib. IX, Caput. V, Col. 762-763). Here Trans. (John McClintock and James Strong, Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature, 'Facundus,' [New York: Harper & Brothers, 1876.], p. 449). Here
