Annotatio II §.VI: Ascelinus follows Paschasius on corporal presence, yet defends coexistence not conversion

Click or tap any sentence to jump there. The side buttons skip a paragraph.

Ascelinus’s letter to Berengar (Dacherius, from Casale Benedicti membranes) owns Paschasius on corporal presence of Christ’s flesh in the sacrament.

On consecrated bread and the mode of presence he writes far otherwise: not conversion of bread into body, but at least coexistence of the Body with the blessed bread.

Latin

Ascelinus enim, in Epistola ad Berengarium ipsum, per Dacherium ex antiquis membranis Abbatiæ Casalis Benedicti, editâ, etiamsi confiteatur, se Paschasii sententiam sequi (nempe quantum ad corporalem carnis Christi praesentiam in sacramento attinet) tamen de pane consecrato & modo praesentiae corporis Christi in Eucharistia longè aliter, ac ille, scribit, non Conversionem panis in Corpus Christi, sed tamen ad minimum Coëxistentiam Corporis cum pane benedicto, defendens.
