Which church are you writing of....the Christian or Catholic??
Catholic is Christian.
Catholic is Christian.
The Catholic Mass is centered on two things
1 — The Liturgy of the Word == Old Testant Reading, New Testament Reading, usually from St. Paul and a GOSPEL reading with the word of Jesus Christ in it. — Totally Catholic and Totally Christian
2 — The Liturgy of the Eucharist == A difference here since some Christians do not believe in the transubstantiation of the bread and wine actually becoming the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ — which Catholic DO BELIEVE!
Again totally centered on Jesus Christ. In other words — I think it is you that is missing out on a true Christian/Catholic celebration. Have you ever attended a Catholic Mass? It was during a Catholic Mass that many formerly Protestants or members of other denominations had a turning point in their lives and made decision to become Catholic.
We welcome you should that be your decision.
When you eat the body and blood....is it body and blood? Taste like it, and everything?
