He does not honor lately-invented rites like masses and sacraments

I will admit that at mass, we no longer slaughter sheep and doves and kill the fatted calf. Scripturally one could argue that God appreciated those things and occasionally demanded them. Ah, for the good ol' days of traditional rituals. But mass (I assume you really mean, the Eucharist, or "communion") does reenact a very significant ritual that orginated as a Passover seder meal now known as "The Last Supper". Hence the use of unleavened wafers of bread such as the Jews prepared when running for their lives form Pharoah, and a reading of the scripture of the words of Christ as he shared it with His disciples.

"mass (I assume you really mean, the Eucharist, or "communion") does reenact a very significant ritual that orginated as a Passover seder meal"

You're letting the Catholic system put you back under the law. You need to go to Jesus and repent of ever believing Mystery Babylon, the harlot.

Do you really think Christ founded his church on Peter? Then why does it say, "For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ."? (I Cor. 3:10)

"I will admit that at mass, we no longer slaughter sheep"

No, you don't. "Jesus" (if it were possible) is slaughtered, according to Catholic docrine, He who was once sacrificed for the sins of man and sat down at the right hand of God. "but this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;" (Hebrews 10:12)

The Catholic "mass" purports to bring Him down to earth and re-sacrifice him, in contradiction to God's word.

It's all fakery.
