Comprehension problem.
Your issue is with your fellow Roman Catholic.
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.
Forgive my frustration here...but...an ordained Roman Catholic priest said this.......not me.
Who is going to be better trained to understand what is happening....the ordained/trained Roman Catholic priest...or you...a layperson [no disrespect intended]??
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!
I know you don't like the quote....most Roman Catholics don't when confronted with the reality of what is happening during the Mass....not what you think is happening....but what is happening {at least from a RC perspective} based on what an ordained priest says.
As metmom has noted....if there is no shedding of blood there is no sacrifice. As Rome claims there is no shedding of blood at the Mass, then it is not a sacrifice. Can't have it both ways.
That is correct. I don't have a problem with the priest.
It is all in the present: one Sacrifice, one singular sacrifice, unique, not repeated, made present.
That's the doctrine.
There is a world of difference --- in fact, there is an eternity of difference --- between "repeated" and "made present." You can disagree with it, but don't misrepresent it. We're not saying Christ's sacrifice is multiplied, done over and over again, we're saying it is in the eternal NOW, made present.
The very meaning of infinity and eternity, is that it can be present everywhere at every moment.
In dawdling pedestrian time, where I live, it is past 10:30 pm.
God bless you and your dear dears, especially the little ones.
