You seem to be wrestling with some of the issues that led A.N. Whitehead to develop the philosophy of organism. The ancient roots of *his* thinking were Plato rather than Aristotle. His rejection of "substance" as a meaningful philosophical concept is hard for a Thomistic Catholic to take, I admit, but perhaps trans-substantiation is not the only adequate metaphysical account of what happens in the Eucharist

Dr. Stacy, I’m a fairly skilled apologist already and almost everything you are writing here is taking me to a needed next level.
Thank you , Howard 🙏🏻✝️ (I don’t have an emoji for the periodic table!)
