Annotatio IV §.VII cont.: De Resurrectione Carnis nearly corporal — counted among his errors
Elsewhere (De Resurrectione Carnis) Tertullian seems to push a nearly corporal presence: our flesh is fed with Christ’s body and blood so the soul may be fattened from God.
Count that among his otherwise venerable errors — even Transsubstantiators wholly abhor proper nutrition of our flesh by Christ’s body taken in the supper.
Latin
Quanquam Idem Tertullianus, alibi, nempe Libro de Resurrectione Carnis, etiam præsentiam corporis Christi in Eucharistia ferè corporalem inculcasse legatur, scribens: Caro (nostra) corpore & sanguine Christi vescitur, ut & anima de Deo saginetur: Id quod ceteris Patris hujus, jure alioquin venerandi, erroribus, vel in vulgus eruditorum notis, annumerandum eô fuerit, quia vel ipsi Transsubstantiatores, à nutritione carnis nostræ propriè dicta per corpus Christi, in S. cœna sumtum, omninò abhorrent, ut suprà diximus.
