Interesting. What is the “two-fold consecration”? I’m obviously not Catholic. Unlike some, I have no interest in fighting my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ about who is more Christian. I do like learning though, by having civilized conversations. My question about the taste of the bread and wine was an honest question; not trying to knit pick. How do we explain the taste of the wine, if it’s actually transformed into actual blood? I don’t like wine at all, and every time I take communion at my LCMS church I feel like I’m doing a horrible job of not scrunching my face up at the taste of it. I’ve joked with my husband about why Jesus couldn’t have used milk and chocolate chip cookies instead of bread and wine. Not meant to be disrespectful, just mostly poking fun at myself for not liking wine.
On my way to work but I wanted to shoot you an answer. This is a bit of a lengthy article about the Mass but if you scroll down to “the constituent parts of the Mass” and begin reading from there, if you care to, the explanation is there.

This article explains the entire Sacrifice of the Mass.
