Preaching Christ Alone

Actually, that's preaching Michael S. Horton alone.

The RCC keeps re-sacrificing Him...

But the Catholic Church does not.

From the RCC catechism at Vatican.va...

1366 - The Eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross, because it is its memorial and because it applies its fruit:

[Christ], our Lord and God, was once and for all to offer himself to God the Father by his death on the altar of the cross, to accomplish there an everlasting redemption. But because his priesthood was not to end with his death, at the Last Supper "on the night when he was betrayed," [he wanted] to leave to his beloved spouse the Church a visible sacrifice (as the nature of man demands) by which the bloody sacrifice which he was to accomplish once for all on the cross would be re-presented, its memory perpetuated until the end of the world, and its salutary power be applied to the forgiveness of the sins we daily commit.189

That last bit of nonsense from the Council of Trent contradicts Hebrews...again.

Christ does not require nor demand a "visible sacrifice" when His one-time sacrifice on the cross was sufficient for the job. It is finished. He has risen. Believers have been saved.

Pity Rome preaches so much fear and uncertainty.
