The Eucharist as body and blood, soul and divinity

[anonymousguy]

Hi,
from what i understand, Catholics refer to the Eucharist as body and blood, soul and divinity of Christ.
But what about spirit? Isn’t the Eucharist the body and blood, soul and divinity AND spirit of Christ?

 

[catholica]

I would call this a language thing.

Can we not call the “soul” the “spirit”?

The key that makes it special for us is our confidence that it is Christ, not just a symbol of Him.

Hello ag,
The Spirit of Christ is there no doubt, however it is expressed doctrinally under the name of soul.

Christ is present in His entirety.
