Consubstantiation \Con`sub*stan`ti*a"tion\ (?; 106), n.
   1. An identity or union of substance.

   2. (Theol.) The actual, substantial presence of the body of
      Christ with the bread and wine of the sacrament of the
      Lord's Supper; impanation; -- opposed to
      transubstantiation.

   Note: This view, held by Luther himself, was called
         consubstantiation by non Lutheran writers in
         contradistinction to transsubstantiation, the Catholic
         view.
