Episode 1157: The Sacrifice of the Mass

This belief causes difficulties for Protestants. They errored in their reasoning that since Catholics call the Mass a 'sacrifice' that it must mean we believe we are re-crucifying Christ each time we celebrate Mass. In Catholic teaching, the holy sacrifice of the Mass is the fulfillment of all the sacrifices of the Old Covenant. In the New Covenant, the one sacrifice on the altar of Calvary is revisited during every Catholic Mass. Jesus Christ merited all graces and blessings for us by His death on the Cross.
