The Catholic Mass is also misrepresented as being a "new sacrifice" of Jesus Christ. That is, at
Mass, Jesus is "re-sacrificed." Mass is NOT a "new"
Sacrifice of Jesus Christ. The Roman
Catholic Church teaches Mass is Jesus "one-time" bloody
sacrifice "made present" in an
unbloody manner. The Catechism of the Catholic Church
teaches:
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:
(Christ), our Lord and God, was once and for all to offer
himself to God the Father by his death
on the altar of the cross, to accomplish there an
everlasting redemption. But because his
priesthood was not to end with his death, at the Last
Supper 'on the night when he was
betrayed,' (he wanted) to leave to his beloved spouse the
Church a visible sacrifice (as the nature
of man demands) by which the bloody sacrifice which he was
to accomplish once for all on the
cross would be re-presented, its memory perpetuated until the end of
the world, and its salutary
power be applied to the forgiveness of the sins we daily
commit.[Council of Trent (1562): DS
