"It's difficult to tell which is worse -- Mary worship, the abomination of the mass as a re-sacrifice of Christ, or following the guidance of "another Christ.""

The Church is indeed three for three but you are "Ofer three"> You have misstated each of the Church's position on all three. It as if it were deliberate:

1) Catholics do NOT worship Mary, we venerate her.

Catholics do NOT re-sacrifice Christ, we reenact the original sacrifice.

3) Priests are not "another Christ" (for the hundredth time!!!) Priests act symbolically in the place of Christ.

It doesn't matter how many times you throw this against the wall, it ain't going to stick.

HEY PRODDYS,
Get a load of these pretend differences without a distinction!
Weasel words are such a laugh.
Except that eternal destinies are involved.
What IS it about parochial schooling that shreds understanding about SAME VS DIFFERENT?
How can they still tell their left hand from their right?

That which we call a rose by any other name.....

Catholics do NOT re-sacrifice Christ, we reenact the original sacrifice.

Then how can they actually, literally turned the host into the actual, literal body and blood of Christ. If they reenact the original sacrifice, which they don't do right because Christ was not sacrificed on an altar but died on a cross.

3) Priests are not "another Christ" (for the hundredth time!!!) Priests act symbolically in the place of Christ.

Then communion is just a symbolic representation of Christ.
