Background on Lanfranc of Canterbury

In his own words on Matthew

  • Matthew 26:26

    When the host is broken, when the blood is poured from the cup into the mouth of the faithful, what else is denoted but the offering of the Lord's Body on the cross, and the shedding of His Blood out of His side?
