I am not of the Catholic faith. But as an Evangelical believer, I whole-heartedly worship and pray to Jesus on the cross of Calvary. And at the same time worship and pray to Jesus risen from the grave and seated in Glory at the right hand of God. This is not an either/or worship for me. Through God's Omnipresence they are one and the same.
Also, in order to agree with you, all of creation worshipping a Lamb being slain (recorded in Rev 5:6, 11-13) is nonsense? I don't think so.
It's the glorified Savior we worship, one who is resurrected and alive, not one who is constantly being killed.
Hebrews 6:1-6 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings,a the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits.
For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, 5and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt.
It is holding Christ up to contempt to crucify Him to ourselves again.
Catholicism is treading on dangerous ground.
Not one of them has yet answered the questions I asked about which body of Christ it is that they are participating in the sacrifice of.
His earthly body that already died?
Or His resurrected and glorified body?
