"The priest no longer exists as an individual person. He (the priest) has turned into a sacramental sign, the representative of Christ, present upon the altar and offering himself in sacrifice. Christ is the real priest; it is he who consecrates bread into his body and wine into his blood and offers both as a sacrificial gift to the heavenly Father." - Dogmatic Theology for the Laity- Rev. Matthias Premm, Dogmatic Theology for the Laity (Rockford, IL: Tan Books and Publishers, 1977), p. 354.
Then comes Immolation. The sacrificial killing of a victim.
"For in the sacrifice of the Mass Our Lord is immolated when "he begins to be present sacramentally as the spiritual food of the faithful under the appearances of bread and wine." - Second Vatican Council-Sacred Liturgy, "Instructions on the Worship of the Eucharistic Mystery," no. 3b; quoting Paul VI, Mysterium Fidei.
Christ does not suffer, pour out His blood, or die at the Mass. He experiences an "unbloody immolation". He becomes sacramentally present under the appearances of bread and wine, a "most holy VICTIM". [1085,1353,1362,1364,1367,1383,1409,1545].
Once Christ is present in a state of victimhood upon the altar, He then offers Himself to God the Father by the HANDS OF THE PRIEST and in UNION WITH THE CHURCH [1354,1357]. The Gospel According to Rome-James G. McCarthy.
Is that about right, according to your Church?
What sacrilege.
You know what is interesting is they believe they are receiving the ACTUAL blood of Christ.. where there is no mention of Christ having blood in His glorified body ..Flesh and bone... the blood was poured out for us...
Great post.
That is the cult of cults...
to the extent you are correctly quoting actual Church documents, they are correct.
