Does he stand for Christ? What does the word Vicar mean? I know you believe it is the self same sacrifice, and that too is an abomination before God and Christ who completed that sacrifice, that was accepted by the Father as demonstrated by the resurrection

You keep re slaying Christ and drinking his body and eating His body, you do not accept the work of the cross unless men keep doing it over and over

Men always want to be in control..Gen 3:5 — For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

The Vicar of Christ is the Pope, that is, the bishop who stands in the place of St. Peter among the Apostles and has been given certain powers and responsibilities that the other Apostles did not have. This is different from the priesthood.

You’re still not understanding what I’m saying, though. The one Sacrifice of Christ was an event in time but at the same time an eternal event, because the Church, the Body of Christ, extends this event through modern, current time towards the future, when Christ shall be all in all, and also takes into itself all the past preparation for the event. It’s not a matter of “re-slaying” Christ. This is the same Sacrifice.
