The Sacrament of the Eucharist is, of course, one step away from the Incarnation itself, where the thing signified (The Word) and the signifier (Jesus) were absolutely one. Symbol and sign and metaphor strain towards this union; Sacrament presents it, but the Incarnation is that perfect union. Again, it is a scandal. God is not man, any more than bread is flesh.

Formal logic has more techniques than syllogisms of course, and almost any proposition can be tested for validity or at least inconclusiveness.

Logic then has an implicit limit of being true just relative to it?s own structure or mode.
