Number 4 is also most interesting, again, denied by many Catholics on this forum. We ex-Catholics and non-Catholics have been saying that the Catholic Church teaches that the sacrifice of the mass is re-sacrificing Christ anew every time. And here it is....

4. The Mass Is The Same Sacrifice As Calvary – The biggest mistake that many Catholics make is treating the Holy Mass as “just another church service”, similar to those held by other religions. In the Mass, Christ’s Sacrifice on the Cross is made present, its memory is celebrated and its saving power is applied. The Council of Trent teaches that Christ left a visible sacrifice to His Church “in which that bloody sacrifice which was once offered on the Cross should be made present, its memory preserved to the end of the world, and its salvation-bringing power applied to the forgiveness of the sins which are daily committed by us.” When we attend Mass, we are mystically transported to Calvary, where we can unite ourselves with the Lord’s Sacrifice to the Father!
Do you think some Catholics actually believe this, or do they just claim they believe it to go along with what the priest claims???
This is why the Cross of the Catholic Church still has Christ hanging on it. They relive Calvary over and over..the Mass isn’t for remembering, it’s for re-enacting.
When I posted this from the Baltimore Catechism I was mocked ....
That's the sucker word right there...Mystically...
I went to Mass today...
So, you had a front row seat at Jesus' sacrifice on the Cross, again??? What did it look like???
Well, I didn't really see it...But they told me I was there...
And you ate Jesus' flesh, and drank His blood???
Well, that's what they told me it was...
But you said you went to Calvary and particpated in the "Sacrifice on the cross; and then you said Jesus was present right here being sacrificed...
Well, it's mysterical...
Well, if you participate in the sacrifice, you're either bleeding all over the place with Jesus, or you're helping the people that put Him there...
