Transubstantiation (from Latin transsubstantiatio) is the change of the substance of bread and wine into that of the body and blood of Christ, the change that according to the belief of the Roman Catholic Church occurs in the Eucharist.

Transubstantiation is the miracle of the Catholic Mass. It is the literal transformation of the unleavened bread and wine into the body and blood of JC. Pretty goofy huh?

A Roman Catholic doctrine -- that the bread and wine of the Eucharist (Lord's Supper) are converted literally into the body and blood of Jesus when the Priest blesses them.

i dont know which one u mean, but it is either on substance changing into another, or the doctorine of many chistian churches that bread and wine transformed into the body and blood of jesus, although the appearance of the bread and wine ramains the same.

The bread and wine will become true blood and flesh of Jesus.
