	Christ's Presence in the Eucharist - True, Real & Substantial by Avery Cardinal Dulles, SJ
		Christ's presence in the Blessed Sacrament is therefore knowable only by the intellect, which accepts the word of God in faith.9 The presence may be called sacramental because the appearances of the bread and wine indicate where Christ's body and blood are present.
		His presence is such that the bread and wine after the consecration are truly, really, and substantially His body and blood but according to a mode of existence that differs from His presence in heaven.
		To reduce the real presence to the latter is reductionist.

		The explanation is found in terms of a distinction between the socalled substance (or true reality) and the accidents (the specific, perceptible characteristics).
