Thomas Izbicki presents a new examination of the relationship
between the adoration of the sacrament and canon law from the
twelfth to fifteenth centuries. The medieval Church believed
Christ's glorified body was present in the Eucharist, the most
central of the seven sacraments, and the Real Presence became
explained as transubstantiation by university-trained theologians.
Expressions of this belief included the drama of the elevated host
and chalice, as well as processions with a host in an elaborate
monstrance on the Feast of Corpus Christi. These affirmations of
doctrine were governed by canon law, promulgated by popes and
councils; and liturgical regulations were enforced by popes,
bishops, archdeacons and inquisitors. Drawing on canon law
collections and commentaries, synodal enactments, legal manuals and
books about ecclesiastical offices, Izbicki presents the first
systematic analysis of the Church's teaching about the regulation
of the practice of the Eucharist.
