You're correct -- I read an "are" in the first portion of that sentence that simply wasn't there. Thanks for correcting that!

The image shows some men moving under a covering. Is that really a monstrance? The lead says that a monstrance is a vessel used to carry the host.Robert K S21:48, 22 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Like relics? If this is true (and I think it is) should we modify its definition?Allthewhile23:20, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'm concerned about the fourth sentence under "liturgical context", which says: "This is what is meant by Real Presence; the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist." Whilst this sentence is entirely correct within itself, it also clearly refers back to the preceding three sentences concerning transubstantiation. This is misleading, since there are many traditions which accept the Doctrine of the Real Presence, but reject the concept of transubstantiation. Indeed, anyone clicking the "Real presence" wikilink will find the target article at odds with what is stated here. I haven't waded in and changed anything, but I would suggest that this can be easily tidied up with a minor alteration, perhaps along the lines of: "This is what is meant by Real Presence within the Roman Catholic tradition; the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist. (Other Christians accept the Doctrine of the Real Presence, whilst rejecting transubstantiation as a philosophical concept.)"Timothy TitusTalk To TT19:12, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
