Know the difference between substance and accident. Substance refers to the essence or “what-ness” of a thing. Accident refers to changeable features that do not modify the essence or “what-ness.” Colors, smells, location, placement, and size are all examples of accidental properties. Taylor can be tan, pale, sitting, standing, in Paris, in New York, fat, skinny, but he’s still Taylor. His essence doesn’t change, but the accidental features can and do change. So in the Eucharist, It is Christ (substance), but the size, shape, taste, smell, location, etc. (accidents) do not change. That’s why is “transubstantiation” and not
“transaccidentalization.”
