"I will admit that at mass, we no longer slaughter sheep"

No, you don't. "Jesus" (if it were possible) is slaughtered, according to Catholic docrine, He who was once sacrificed for the sins of man and sat down at the right hand of God. "but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;" (Hebrews 10:12)

The Catholic "mass" purports to bring Him down to earth and re-sacrifice him, in contradiction to God's word.

It's all fakery.

Could you kindly point out where this is found in Catholic doctrine?

I really wish people knew what they were attacking before they attacked it.

First, "fakery" isn't a word. Second, the only thing "fake" here is your purported understanding of Catholic teaching.

The Catholic "mass" purports to bring Him down to earth and re-sacrifice him, in contradiction to God's word.

The Catholic Church has never taught this ever in the 2000 year history of the Church. Period.

When someone says Christ died for their sins, how? How is it possible when Christ died 2000 years ago before you were even born and sinned? It's because Christ's crucifixion spans throughout all eternity and its power affects the whole of the cosmos throughout time. God exists outside of time and therefore transcends time.

When offer the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Christ is not being "re-crucified" anymore than when an old married couple renewing their weddings vows is getting "re-married." In the Eucharist, by the power of the Holy Spirit, we are brought, spiritually, before the feet of the crucified Christ at Calvary 2000 years ago in our renewal of our covenant with God.

Christ died once and for all, but the power of His crucifixion affects all men, at all times, throughout all generations.
