[de Lubac] tells us, however, that the Church is best understood by two names we often keep apart. Modern Catholics speak of Christ’s “real presence” in the Eucharist; and they refer to the “Mystical Body of Christ.” But, de Lubac shows, these two terms had formerly been interchangeable. The Eucharist is also the Mystical Body of Christ, and the people gathered together as the Church are also the Real Presence of Christ.
Today’s Jesuits would probably want him to shut up, too.
