Edited: Question on Catholic beliefs

[Albion]

Any Catholic, who knows the mass, will tell you it's not a re-sacrifice. .

The word used in the OP was sacrifice, not re-sacrifice, but I guess that wouldn't change anything.

The word used in the OP was sacrifice, not re-sacrifice. Would that that affect your comment here?

Why would it? The OP asked if it were a sacrifice. So, every mass would then be doing it over and over. No, it's not a sacrifice. Anyone who knows the Catholic mass will tell you this.

That has been explained thoroughly and irrefutably. Just back track.

The church itself calls it a sacrifice, though.

It’s a common mistake to equate sacrifice with death. To understand the sacrifice of the Mass, it is essential that one understand the biblical picture of a sacrifice: It is always a gift; it is not always a killing. This is why Scripture can speak of a sacrifice of praise (Hos. 4:12) and the sacrifice of thanksgiving (Ps. 50:14).

Catechism:

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.

1358 We must therefore consider the Eucharist as:

- thanksgiving and praise to the Father;
- the sacrificial memorial of Christ and his Body;
- the presence of Christ by the power of his word and of his Spirit.

Essentially identical to what the average Protestant church teaches, then?
