Ubiquity

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

　　(Lat. ubique, "everywhere") is the opinion of some German divines that the body. of Christ is present everywhere by virtue of its union with his divine nature. It was adopted in 1577 as a mode of explaining the Eucharistic Presence by those who compiled the Formula of Concord. The party was soon divided in opinion, some affirming that Jesus Christ during his mortal life was everywhere, others dating the ubiquity from the time of his ascension into heaven.
