[stylist] wendesay word: consubstantial

[Robert Leslie Newman]

I'm wondering if the below use of  consubstantial, would be correct 

Becky, my X-girlfriend was telling me (as if I wanted to hear it) of her
newest heart-throb. "Yeah, he says he knows you from high school --- Mark?
He's just the sweetest guy."

"Ah ya, I do. Sweet --- ya, about   consubstantial to Sugar Twin, as my
mother's Christmas peanut butter balls are to Reese's peanut butter cups.
(Which by the way, were to die for)"

(Happy Holiday's! don't eat too many sweets!)

  consubstantial
con-sub-stan-chill
adjective

  of the same substance or essence (used especially of the three persons of
the Trinity in Christian theology): e.g.  Christ is consubstantial with the
Father.  consubstantiality" - noun.
What makes this word interesting is that if you're Catholic, in the Nicene
Creed we now have to say "consubstantial with the Father" instead of "one in
being with the Father."
