When you said "accusation" I thought it implied an accusation of moral wrongdoing. I did not accuse you of any deliberate wrong, and never have.

What I noted was simply factual: you have posted mistaken information about Catholic beliefs. I do not assume that this is deliberate on your part. I suppose it to be an innocent mistake.

Your principal misunderstanding of the Mass is that Jesus is believed to be re-sacrificed repeatedly. This is untrue. Jesus' sacrifice was once and for all. It happened once in history, in time. It does have a timeless aspect, first because Jesus is God, and also, Scripture says He is the "Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:9)

When we participate in the Mass, we are participating in this as a single, unrepeated, eternally-present reality.

Well, which Jesus body is the priest in your religion sacrificing at the Catholic Altar?
