"The mass did not become an official doctrine until pronounced by the Lateran Council of 1215 under the direction of Pope Innocent III," Your posing is an obviously unattributed direct quote from the jesus-is-savior.com website complete with the dangling comma at the end. Compare it to the following I excerpted from that site.

So does that mean it is not true?? Name calling is a nice diversion...IS IT TRUE??

"So does that mean it is not true??

Absolutely. I'll match your banned website snippets and false factoids with the writings of the Church Fathers any day. As I already pointed out to you in post #748 the initial construct of the modern Catholic Liturgy was documented in the early 1st century in the Didache and more extensively documented in the writings of St. Clement of Rome in the late 1st century. St. Justin Martyr tells us that the basic structure of the Mass was already in place by the year 150.

The term "Mass" is a relatively new term derived from Missa, a code word used by early Christians first recorded by St. Ambrose in the Latin "missam facere coepi".
