Why “ubiquitism” is a great word
UBIQUITISM — [Noun] The theological doctrine that the human body of the resurrected Christ is corporeally omnipresent. From the Latin ubique ("everywhere") + the suffix -ism, forming a noun of practice or doctrine. Unlike "impanation" (which localizes the divine presence within the Eucharistic bread and wine) or the broader "ubiquitarianism" (which can denote any philosophical concept of omnipresence), ubiquitism is a precise Christological claim of material diffusion. It is the warmth of a sunbeam on a stone altar long after the candles have guttered, the dust of any floor potentially being the dust that walked on water, and the grain of the altar wood haunted by a single, inescapable anatomy—a doctrine that renders all space a reliquary and all absence theological fiction.
