Transubstantiation is the [[doctrine]] of the [[Roman Catholic Church]] which states that during the [[consecration]] of the [[sacrificial offerings]] of wine and bread at the [[Catholic Mass]], that the bread and wine are literally changed into the body and blood of [[Christ]]. This is a view in contrast with the beliefs of some Protestant groups which also celebrate rites recalling Christ's [[Last Supper]], but who believe that the wine and bread are symbolically, rather than actually, the body and blood of Jesus.
