bread and wine? How is Christ’s presence affected by human digestion? And so forth. Someone who has understood Thomas’s articulation of sacramental presence knows that they needn’t worry that Jesus would have long ago run out of body to feed us with or be harmed by our teeth or stomach acid. And they certainly won’t be afflicted by the scruples of the stercoranists who fretted about the digestion and eventual expulsion of Christ. Digestion is, after all, merely a (qualitative) form of decomposition.
