Heaven help us. We have turned worship of God into worship of self, while deluding ourselves into thinking that it is God whom we are worshipping.
The situation sounds quite like that which St. Paul prophesied would arise in the last days:
"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires; and will turn away their ears from the truth." (2 Tim 4:3-4)

It's the RCC that worships something other than the Triune God and follows a corrupted worship service that dares to say the Lord's Supper is "invalid" if the "wrong words" are used by the priest.
Form over substance. Magic over mercy.
