- 2020 July 6, Helen Lewis, “How J. K. Rowling Became Voldemort”, in The Atlantic‎^[1]:
  I was openly dismissive about transubstantiation, by which the host is consecrated, and according to Catholic doctrine, literally turns from mere bread into the body of Christ. “But all the atoms stay the same!” I would insist. “That makes no sense!”
