[edit] Changes

I've tidied up this entry, moving all historical references into one section, all architectural comments into another, and all religious information into a third. I've escaped all special characters in the text (accented letters), corrected some typos, added a pronunciation key, removed all but two photos, deleted a historical reference that was not highly relevant to the article (details on wars), and generally cleaned up the layout of the article so that information is logically arranged.

I've reworked the text, so any copyright issues should be moot now. Agateller 08:33, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Body & Blood

This is a minor note, but I feel like it needs to be made anyway. I've returned "Body and Blood" to the transubstantiation quote because the Church's Eucharistic doctrine teaches that because Christ is risen, his Body & Blood are reunited. True, when the host is consecrated, it becomes the Body of Christ, and the "wine" becomes His Blood, however, when the priest "commingles" the species (places a fragment of the host into the chalice) it is to demonstrate that Christ is Risen, and his Body & Blood are now reunited. Each host is both Body & Blood, and each sip of "wine" is likewise both Body & Blood. This is why communion under only one species ("bread" or "wine" alone) is acceptable.
