That's not what I meant and you KNOW it. You are simply taking the WORSE take on what I wrote. Why, I don't know.
Take a look at the history of the Mass and see how it has changed over the last 2000 years. There are high and low Masses, weddings, funerals, singing, organs, pianos, chants...but THEY don't make a Mass a Mass.
The ESSENCE of the Mass, if you can READ what I write, is the CONSECRATION. That's what Jesus did at His Last Supper. It WAS/IS a meal, first, last and always.
If you REALLY want to see the ESSENCE of a Mass, just see a Mass being celebrated during combat. No bells and whistles there at all.
Now go away and leave me alone, please.
The essence was a sacrifice, not a meal. That would be Protestantism.
