"Not till the Middle Ages did theologians really try to explain how Christ’s body and blood became present in the Eucharist. After a few theologians got it wrong, St. Thomas Aquinas came along and offered an explanation that became classic."

I'm glad someone finally "understood" it and "got it right". ;O)

Since you bring that sentence up, please note that it's completely wrong. St. Thomas hadn't even been born when transubstantiation was defined as a dogma by the Lateran Council of 1215.
