You were the one who posted that quote from Ratzinger thinking it proved Ratzinger believes the Mass isn't sacrificial.

The problem is the words quoted have nothing to do with the Mass. Apparently, you are the only one incapable of seeing that.

"The problem is the words quoted have nothing to do with the Mass. Apparently, you are the only one incapable of seeing that."

The context for the quote was a discussion of the notion of liturgical sacrifice--which is the essence of the Mass. To say the Cardinal's explanation had nothing to do with the Mass is therefore ridiculous on the surface--it was a liturgical conference, after all. Reread the quote. It deals with the concept of propitiation for sin--which is how Trent describes the Mass.
