>>The Mass is an unbloody sacrifice RE-presented.<<

What blasphemy! What utter contempt for the once for all sacrifice of Christ who now sits at the right hand of the Father.

Hebrews 10:12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

What do Catholics think? Was Jesus sacrifice not completed and has to be re-presented constantly? Do they think the Father forgets and has to be reminded? Jesus said "do this in REMEMBRANCE of me" He didn't say repeat presenting me over and over.

“What blasphemy!”

None at all. Just the opposite in fact.

“What utter contempt for the once for all sacrifice of Christ who now sits at the right hand of the Father.”

No contempt at all. Jesus died ONCE. His sacrifice can be re-presented many times, however.

“What do Catholics think?”

The Truth.

“Was Jesus sacrifice not completed and has to be re-presented constantly?”

No, it was completed and can be re-presented constantly.

“Do they think the Father forgets and has to be reminded?”

No, they know the Fathers loves His Son and love was the reason for His Son’s sacrifice.

“Jesus said “do this in REMEMBRANCE of me” He didn’t say repeat presenting me over and over.”

If you’re offering His Body and Blood - which is what He told the Apostles to offer - then you are re-presenting His sacrifice over and over. And He wanted it that way.

Your argument is with Jesus, not Catholics. If your faith were so secure, you wouldn’t be split in to over three hundred sects all claiming to have reformed the Church.
