To: Mrs. Don-o
Is that sacrifice (word used in the catechism) not repeated at each and every Mass?

the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner.

As has been pointed out before...where there is no shedding of blood there is no sacrifice.

Are you saying what O'Brien, an ordained Roman Catholic priest, wrote is wrong?

Again, from the Faith of Millions....[breaks and emphasis mine]

When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens,

brings Christ down from His throne,

and places Him upon our altar

to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man.

It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors: it is greater than that of saints and angels, greater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. While the Blessed Virgin was the human agency by which Christ became incarnate a single time,

the priest brings Christ down from heaven,

and renders Him present on our altar

as the eternal Victim for the sins of man—

not once but a thousand times!

The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows His head in humble obedience to the priest’s command.

And as stated before and will continue to do so...this is in complete contradiction of the New Testament.

The Mass is indeed a sacrifice. It is the one sacrifice of Jesus at Calvary. That’s the part you’re not getting.

Did you go to that link?

Do so. Read. Then we can continue.

Good evening, ealgeone.
