The errors here are endless, but I'm going to pick this one out:

The Mass a Re-sacrifice of Christ

Catholics do not believe, and the Church does not teach, that the Mass is a "re-sacrifice of Christ". You will not find the word "re-sacrifice" in any official church document.

What she does teach is that the Mass is *one and the same sacrifice* as Calvary, because it is united to the eternal offering by Jesus of his own body and blood to the Father in heaven. No re-sacrifice, but a true sacrifice, in fact, the only true sacrifice.

David Cloud is engaging, knowingly or not, in deception when he says stuff like this. Catholics know what they believe; insisting that we believe something we don't in order to slander us is the sin of calumny.

Then Jesus is not dead nor has He risen from the dead. Then we are all in BIG trouble.

1 Corinthians 15:14-19 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised.

For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

You evidently haven't read the Vatican II documents.

The august sacrifice of the altar, then, is no mere empty commemoration of the passion and death of Jesus Christ, but a true and proper act of sacrifice, whereby the High Priest by an unbloody immolation offers Himself a most acceptable victim to the Eternal Father, as He did upon the cross (Mediator Dei, Encyclical of Pope Pius XII)

Imolate - to kill or destroy (someone or something

They may not use the word Re-sacrifice but they most certainly are re-presenting that sacrifice as if the first time was not good enough.

your word games prove I am right :)
according to the RCC, you DEFINITELY MUST BELIEVE that Jesus body and blood, LITERALLY, is in that wafer and wine

the RCC used to KILL people who denied that

So, you lose this one again
