So, have you check your oil yet by looking at the paragraph from John O'Brien's book that has the RCC nihil obstat over it, meaning it does not violate the faith and morals teaching of the RCC? I post it again for you, for your convenience:

“When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from his throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the victim for the sins of men. It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors; it is greater than that of saints and angels, grater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. The priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man – not once but a thousand times! The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command.”

Is there any sentence in that paragraph that should be offensive to a Christian? [ HINT: like the last sentence in particular! ]

Catholics are fond of saying Protestantism is a false religion. Yet the catholics on these threads have yet to see anything offensive in that paragraph. How about you. Checked your oil in your lamp lately?

Affirmative sir. It offends me. I said it before, God bows to NO ONE. Never has, never will, even if some think He does. I do not have a religion, I have a relationship. 😂

More than one and half billion Christians say you are wrong.

For later analysis. Seemingly from “Faith of Millions”, pages 255-256, published by Our Sunday Visitor, 1938, republished 1974 (apparently).
