Transubstantiation: Defined at Latern or Trent?

[ericcantona71]

I keep reading articles that contradict each other. For example some articles say that Transubstantiation was defined at the Council of Trent the others say that it was defined at the Fourth Latern Council.

What’s the correct answer???

I believe that Transubstantiation was defined by both Councils:

** There is one Universal Church of the faithful, outside of which there is absolutely no salvation. In which there is the same priest and sacrifice, Jesus Christ, whose body and blood are truly contained in the sacrament of the altar under the forms of bread and wine; the bread being changed (transsubstantiatio) by divine power into the body, and the wine into the blood, so that to realize the mystery of unity we may receive of Him what He has received of us. And this sacrament no one can effect except the priest who has been duly ordained in accordance with the keys of the Church, which Jesus Christ Himself gave to the Apostles and their successors.
(4th Lateran Council Canon 1)

**If any one denieth, that, in the sacrament of the most holy Eucharist, are contained truly, really, and substantially, the body and blood together with the soul and divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, and consequently the whole Christ; but saith that He is only therein as in a sign, or in figure, or virtue; let him be anathema.
(Council of Trent 13th Session Canon 1 see following canons as well)
