Q. Did Primasius advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?
Primasius, Bishop of Hadrumetum (c. 6th Century A.D.):
Our Saviour God gave us an example, that as often we do this, we may have in mind that Christ died for us all. Therefore we call it the body of Christ, that when we remember this, we may not be ungrateful for His grace; just as if any one dying should leave to him whom he loves some pledge, which as often as he shall after his death, can he restrain his tears, if he perfectly loves him? (J. P. Minge, Patrologiæ Cursus Completus, [1847], Patrologiæ Latinæ, Tomus LXVIII, Primasii Adrumetani Episc., In Epistolam I Ad Corinthios Commentaria, Cap. XI, Col. 534). 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. 214). Here
