Believe what you want, but do not misrepresent what Catholics believe.
A Roman Catholic priest says otherwise.
Plus another Roman Catholic on another thread said the Mass was the SAME sacrifice as the Cross....the SAME.
Do NOT misrepresent to me what I believe.
All I'm doing is repeating what an ordained Roman Catholic priest has said. If anyone should know it should be him. Your issue is with him....not me.
I'll post what we're talking about for the casual reader to decide.
When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the Victim for the sins of man. It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors: it is greater than that of saints and angels, greater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. While the Blessed Virgin was the human agency by which Christ became incarnate a single time, the priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man—not once but a thousand times! The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows His head in humble obedience to the priest’s command.

Comprehension problem.
As a matter of fact, Yes. It is the SAME. The same ONE. Unique. Solo. SINGULAR. Unparalleled. Never repeated. Counting number One. UNO.
Christ is sacrificed once. In a bloody way, at Calvary. In a mystical way, beyond time and space. "The Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world." (Revelation).
In the Mass, we enter into this eternity. It is a meeting of time and eternity, of space and infinity. Hence the Mass, the sacrifice of the Lamb ("This is the Lamb of God") is the self-same ONE sacrifice of Calvary.
It would be only honest to say that this goes beyond your comprehension. It cannot, in fact, be grasped by the unaided human intellect.
But it is not right to simply misrepresent it by saying Christ is sacrificed multiple times (over and over and over again.)
It's not true. It's not what the Catholic Church teaches.
So kindly cease misrepresenting our doctrine.
If you really don't "get it," the reasonable thing would be to say so, and stop right there.
That sounds like many times, not one continual sacrifice to me.
