Yes... the canon states that the Mass is a propitiatory sacrifice, and it is explained (elsewhere than the canon), that the Mass is a re-presentation (note: NOT "representation") of the Sacrifice of Calvary by Christ through the priest acting in persona Christi.

One Priest (Christ) and one Sacrifice that is both once and eternal.

NOW, THAT SAID: This has nothing to do with the original post. Please quit threadjacking.

If a Priest can duplicate what Christ did on the Cross and offer a non-bloody sacrifice in Christ's place, it removes the preemience of Christ.

Sorry that you have a hard time understanding that.

So, no one is hijacking the thread.

The Roman Catholic Church places its priests (performing the Mass) and Mary on the same level with Christ, making Christ less then preeminent.
