How did the Church reach the conclusion that the soul and divinity of Jesus are present in the Eucharist?

[MH84]

The Catholic Church teaches that in the Eucharist the church receives is the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. I believe that this teaching was decreed conclusively during the Council of Trent. How did the Church reach the conclusion that the soul and divinity is present in the eucharist as well. Jesus never seemed to say this; He mentioned His body and blood at the Last Supper, but not His soul and divinity.

Paragraph 1374 of the CCC:

The mode of Christ’s presence under the Eucharistic species is unique. It raises the Eucharist above all the sacraments as "the perfection of the spiritual life and the end to which all the sacraments tend."201 In the most blessed sacrament of the Eucharist "the body and blood, together with the soul and divinity, of our Lord Jesus Christ and, therefore, the whole Christ is truly, really, and substantially contained.

Also, how is it possible to receive the divinity of Jesus here on earth? Where did Jesus say He was offering His divinity to us?

Christ is alway Divine, it is His Nature and is never seperate from Him.

Where Christ is, so is His Divinity. That is hardly a stretch, as when Christ said “whenever two or more are gathered in my name, I am with them”, in that case, He is present in His Divinity alone. He is not present in Body and Blood. So yes, Christ most certainly is present to us in Divinity.

We also know His Soul is present in the Eucharist, because we recieve the Living, Resurrected Christ. Since His is living, His Soul is Present. If it was not, it would mean that Christ died a second time. I don’t think anyone has ever claimed that, so ergo, His Soul is present in the Eucharist as well.

The theologians distinguish between what is present vi verborum, by the Words of Consecration, and what is present by concomittance. At the words “This is My Body”, His Body becomes present. But because it is His Body as it is now, in its glorified state, his Blood, Soul and Divinity ‘come along’ with the Body, so to speak because there are inseparable from it, in its glorified state. The bread however does not become the Blood, Soul and Divinity by the power of the Words of Consecration - only the Body.

As I said, the Blood, Soul and Divinity are present because the bread becomes the Body of Christ as it is now (i.e. int he glorified state of Christ in heaven). Thus, many of the theologians said that if the Apostles had celebrated Mass during the time when Christ was in the tomb, and the Body alone would have been present (with the Divinity which is inseparably united by the Hypostatic Union) - the Blood which was shed and separated at death would not be present, and the Soul which had descended to the Limbo of the Fathers would also not be present
