You are wrong. Rome has always taught that the Mass is a continuation of the sacrifice of Calvary. To deny that is to deny Catholicism - which is why if i WERE still Catholic, I would be in the SSPX (which I was). The Novus Ordo crowd is trying with all their might to straddle the fence between Catholicism and Protestantism, and the dishonesty became too great for me to ignore. After I got saved by the grace of Jesus, I remained in the RCC for about 2 years, but had to leave after I realized I couldn't deal with the dishonesty.

I was disgusted with the Novus Ordo trickiness,
and I had honest disagreements with the SSPX. Although I disagree with the SSPX, I respect them far more than I do the Novus Ordo doctrinal gymnasts.

Fascinating background, fishy.

Here's an idea I've been contemplating.

If you're a RC who regards the Real Presence as the dominant issue, you'll be attracted to the SSPX.

If you are a RC who regards Papal Authority as the dominant issue, you'll be attracted to the Novus Ordo.

If you are a RC who regards the Real Presence and Papal Authority as equally important issues, you'll be greatly conflicted.

No, Calvary is a once and for all time sacrifice, and that is what the Catholic Church teaches.

Can you cite sources for what you say the Catholic Church teaches about the Mass? I mean no offense, but you have been either misled or you have misunderstood the meaning of the Mass (I thought I linked a Catholic explanation of it to you several posts ago).
