Isn’t that a distinction without a difference? And if it’s not a sacrifice, why call it a bloodless sacrifice?
“Isn’t that a distinction without a difference?”
No. It would be if we were not presenting entirely different ideas - but we are.
“And if it’s not a sacrifice, why call it a bloodless sacrifice?”
It is a re-presentation of a sacrifice. It just isn’t a further sacrifice. It is called bloodless because that is what it is - bloodless - except for those rare occasions when God has chosen to bolster the faith of specific doubters. http://www.therealpresence.org/eucharst/mir/lanciano.html
