Organic Development of Communion on the Tongue and Eucharistic Controversies
This chapter explores the organic development of communion on the tongue in light of the teachings of the church fathers and the Eucharistic controversies in the Carolingian period and the age of papal reform. It discusses how these controversies greatly influenced Catholic doctrine, liturgy, and devotion, and led to the increasing sense of the real presence of Christ in the consecrated species and the doctrine of transubstantiation.
