Victor of Antioch and Transubstantiation

Q. Did Victor advocate the Roman dogma of transubstantiation?


Victor, Priest of Antioch (c. 5th Century A.D.):

By His saying, This is My body, and this is My blood, it was proper that they should call the bread set forth His body, after giving thanks, and partake of it, and, account the cup in place of His blood, about which the Passion took place for the common salvation of all, and the remission of their sins. (Catenæ In Evangelia S. Matthæi Et S. Marci, Edidit. John Anthony Cramer, Volume 1 of Catenæ Græcorum Patrum In Novum Testamentum, [E Typographeo Academico, 1840], Marc. 14:22-24, pp. 422-423). 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. 193). Here
