Some Christians hear of what Roman Catholics are taught by their leaders regarding the complete meaning of the Eucharist and are repelled by the obvious and continuing church-sanctioned blasphemy.
Indeed, it’s revolting.
Ian Paisley once said, “Rome’s doctrine of transubstantiation and Rome’s sacrifice of the Mass are the two most blasphemous idolatries ever designed by hell itself to insult the Lord Jesus.”
Did you know Christ died to institute the priesthood? That’s the blasphemous claim of one of their “saints.” Apparently Christ died so they would have a victim for their mass.
From: Dignity and Duties of the Priesthood by St. Alphonsus Liguori
“Jesus has died to institute the priesthood. It was not necessary for the Redeemer to die in order to save the world. A drop of his blood, a single tear, or prayer, was sufficient to procure salvation for all; for such a prayer, being of infinite value, should be sufficient to save not one but a thousand worlds. But to institute the priesthood, the death of Jesus Christ has been necessary. Had he not died, where should we find the victim that the priests of the New Law now offer, a victim altogether holy and immaculate, capable of giving to God an honor worthy of God? As has been already said, all the lives of men and angels are not capable of giving to God an infinite honor like that, which a priest offers to him by a single Mass.”
The sad thing is people believe this stuff.
