You completely misunderstand the Catholic position on the Mass. We agree wholeheartedly that Christ is the ultimate and final Priest and sacrifice. The Mass is not a new sacrifice but the making present here and now of the one sacrifice of our Lord on the cross. If you are going to disagree with Catholic teaching, please disagree with what we actually believe and not with a mischaracterization of Church teaching. Given the bold/italicized text above...
Are you saying that the mass is not a different sacrifice from that of Calvary, but the same sacrifice perpetuated through time?
