Okay into little more detail it’s a symbolic sacrifice instead of a real sacrifice -in the old days they used to actually sacrifice a lamb.

Which is a symbolic representation of Jesus, just like the bread and wine are.

The Israelites were not saved by eating the meat of the lamb and they most certainly did not drink its blood.

The lamb was looking forward to Jesus. The bread and wine are looking back, remembering.

If ther Catholic mind allows itself to realize the exercise is symbolic as a remembrance then the work of doing doing sdoing exposes Catholicism as a wroks based religion, not base on faith ALONE in Christ ALONE to be born again in the now and have God’s seed abiding in the new borns (1 John 3:9).
