Do this in Remembrance of me is also not a code word for transubstantiation. Transubstantiation is turining the bread into the “actual blood and body” of Christ. This is a resacrifice of Him. That is why it is idolatry, making the wafer into a little god.
NO. That is a *lie*. Catholics believe the Mass is one and the same sacrifice of Calvary, which is eternally being offered to the Father, according to Hebrews, and so is outside of time and can be made again present.

No, it isn't a "little god". It _is_ God. We take Jesus at his word when he said, "This is my body ... this is my blood."
And by the way, on this topic, the Orthodox believe the same things we do, although they use different terminology.
