Dr. Brett Salkeld is the Archdiocesan Theologian for the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Regina Saskatchewan and the author of "Transubstantiation: Theology, History and Christian Unity". You might assume that this is simply a book about a historical theological dispute, and it is, but I think this book is a clear presentation of the history of the conflict surrounding our understanding of the word "God". We use the word "God" as if we know what we're talking about, or that we all mean the same thing when we say the word. I'm convinced we don't and I believe this conflict is at the heart of the great falling away of the church in the West. Brett and I get into this along with a lot of the issues I deal with on this channel.

How our God language shifted
Shift after Thomas, between Thomas and the Reformation
Shift before Thomas
Everyone culturally was a platonist
When that breaks down, in the West
The church is trying to figure out what was easy for a platonist to say but hard for someone in europe to say in the 9th to the 11th century
Transubstantiation emerges to say just that
Substance becomes the prime category
When we say real we hear physical
We realize there is a deeper reality than the physical
The deeper reality, as persisting even though some of those things change
Substance is what Aquinas finds in Aristotle, before Aquinas
4th lateran council
The difference is greater than the similarity
This starts to break down after Thomas in the nominalist school
There’s a category beyond god which we call being
There is a god “in the system” which can be measured with other things in the system
One actor’s will is in conflict with another actor’s will
Fruit of the vine and the gift of the hands
People are finding their transcendence in political movements
Functional definition of religions
Your religion is what you will sacrifice anything else for
