Looks like you are naive and gullible after all. I quote from the current Catechism of the Catholic Church:
1357 We carry out this command of the Lord by celebrating the memorial of his sacrifice. In so doing, we offer to the Father what he has himself given us: the gifts of his creation, bread and wine which, by the power of the Holy Spirit and by the words of Christ, have become the body and blood of Christ. Christ is thus really and mysteriously made present.
1365 Because it is the memorial of Christ's Passover, the Eucharist is also a sacrifice. the sacrificial character of the Eucharist is manifested in the very words of institution: "This is my body which is given for you" and "This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood." In the Eucharist Christ gives us the very body which he gave up for us on the cross, the very blood which he "poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins."
1366 The Eucharist is thus a sacrifice because it re-presents (makes present) the sacrifice of the cross, because it is its memorial and because it applies its fruit:
1367 The sacrifice of Christ and the sacrifice of the Eucharist are one single sacrifice: "The victim is one and the same: the same now offers through the ministry of priests, who then offered himself on the cross; only the manner of offering is different." "In this divine sacrifice which is celebrated in the Mass, the same Christ who offered himself once in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross is contained and is offered in an unbloody manner.
This is exactly what I said and what Trent said. The Mass is a literal re-sacrifice of Christ daily.
The above is speaking about the body of Christ.
I won't argue with you...I'm not here to defend the catholic church...
I'll leave that up to BoL.
Read it carefully...
1357
We offer to God gifts of the creation...bread and wine.
Sometimes other gifts are offered too, like grape, bread,,,,
They become the body and blood of Jesus.
1365
When Jesus instituted communion, the eucharist, on Holy Thursday, He KNEW He was headed for His death. HE wanted that moment to be remembered throughout history...In establishing the Eucharist Jesus gives up His very body for us.
1366
The Eucharist is a sacrifice because it remembers Holy Thursday and what Jesus did for us. It RE-PRESENTS His sacrifice. It DOES NOT offer up the sacrifice again to God...a bloodless and thus NO SACRIFICE is offered to God.
1367
This is a catholic belief and I won't comment.
The CC believes the Holy Spirit is passed down from each generation of priests.
We've gone through this before.
I can't make you understand this...it takes a lot of study to understand these things.
I believe what Catholic priests tell me...those I can trust and don't just sing it to me.
