the Catholic Mass is a re-enactment of the Last Supper -- which I trust also appears in your Protestant Bible

Yes it does appear there. But in context. This was a once a year Passover meal to commemorate the freeing of the Hebrews from bondage through Gods mighty miracles. To do this in remembrance of Me would correctly be practised once a year and recounting Gods miracles in releasing us from the bondage of sin through the Blood of Jesus Christ. To do this sacred testament more often conflicts with the example and makes it common and profanes it. That's just one more reason why I'm not Catholic.

A Christian Sunday liturgy with a ritual re-enactment of the Last Supper dates from the earliest days of Christianity. The practice of the Apostles thus illuminates the bare words of the New Testament.

That's one way of looking at it. But the practice of the early church, as recorded in the Didache, Hippolytus of Rome, Justin Martyr, and others, was to celebrate it weekly on Sunday, in honor of the resurrection.

To do this sacred testament more often conflicts with the example and makes it common and profanes it.

Your opinion maybe, but not something stated in Scripture.
