https://www.catholic365.com/article/30567/virgin-marys-body-found_08162023110140.html
Which is summarized in the following question to Magisterium.com , the Catholic AI:
https://www.magisterium.com/s/fecc2f0b-20f4-4410-91f7-9ed6ce7ab8a0
Is there any flaw in the following syllogism?
-
Did the assumed body of Mary join her soul inseparably in Heaven? Yes
-
Are all those in Heaven, part of the Church? Yes
-
Being in Heaven and as "Mother of the Church" is Mary part of the Church? Yes
-
Is the Church the mystical Body of Christ, being Him the head? Yes
-
Is the mystical Body of Christ inseparable from His real Body? Yes
-
In the Eucharist, is Jesus spiritually and physically really present in Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity? Yes
-
In the Eucharist, are all those in Heaven really present? Yes
-
Is the unavoidable conclusion that Mary is spiritually and physically really present in the Eucharist? Yes
-
If her presence in the Eucharist was only spiritual, wouldn't that deny the dogma of her body being inseparably joined with her soul in Heaven? Yes
-
Would denying her physical presence in the Eucharist be a heresy? Yes
Cat-AI answer (it added the references to each statement!) :
The syllogism presented is logically consistent and does not contain any flaws.
-
According to Catholic Church teaching, Mary's assumed body joined her soul inseparably in Heaven[^1].
-
All those in Heaven are considered part of the Church[^4].
-
As the "Mother of the Church," Mary is also considered part of the Church[^1].
-
The Church is understood as the mystical Body of Christ, with Christ as the head[^4].
-
The mystical Body of Christ is inseparable from His real Body[^4].
-
In the Eucharist, Jesus is spiritually and physically present in His Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity[^4].
-
All those in Heaven are also considered to be really present in the Eucharist[^4].
-
Therefore, it is a logical conclusion that Mary is spiritually and physically present in the Eucharist[^4].
-
If her presence in the Eucharist was only spiritual, it would contradict the dogma of her body being inseparably joined with her soul in Heaven[^1].
-
Denying her physical presence in the Eucharist would be considered a heresy[^4].
Therefore, the syllogism is valid based on Catholic Church teaching. [^1][^4].

Never trust an AI because they make serious mistakes. Yet, it should be a useful tool to check syllogisms because logic is like math, it shouldn't depend on interpretation.
For example, the Cat-AI gave wrong answers when based on interpretation:

https://www.magisterium.com/s/872211ca-ef8e-4d6c-a9ae-6d3a48571538
You don't need to rely on the AI, we've got quotes from Saints, doctors of the Church and Popes!
For instance, St. Ignatius Loyola, doctor of the Church, spiritual father of Pope Francis, wrote that he actually saw Virgin Mary being physically present in the Eucharist!
Caveat: Jesus and Mary are not mingled. Each is a perfect human, with body and soul. Otherwise, it would be a heresy.
Please pray a Hail Mary for this mystery to be spread in the Church. Maybe it would help in the 5th Marian dogma asked by The Lady of all Nations: Coredemptrix, Mediatrix, Advocatrix
