Hmm...maybe I should go write that letter I've been meaning to compose...

The Medieval peoples also held the qualities (accidents) of bread to remain, and the qualities of body and blood to absent, or at least imperceptible. Only the substance (i.e. answer to the question "What is that?") were changed over, while the accidents (i.e. answer to the question "How does that taste?" or "What does that look/feel like?") did not....

Erm, you *do* realise that quite a lot of people *currently* believe in Transubstantiation? Even though it is rather more than "about a thousand and a half years after that meal"?

I am a fan of the footnote, and you are definitely a master! Just happened to "discover" your blog recently and am glad I did!

I just noticed--so placenta was Latin for cake? And coffin was Middle English for pie? I feel that you could get at least another blog out of this one.

I think I'll stick to "Life of .."
