| | Mass (liturgy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Mass is the term used of the celebration of the Eucharist in the Latin rites of the Roman Catholic Church. | | | When this most solemn point of the Mass, referred to as the Consecration, has been concluded the priest invites the people to proclaim "the mystery of faith" and the congregation joins in reciting an acclamation known as the Memorial Acclamation, of which the Roman Missal gives three forms. | | | The Council of Trent taught that the Mass is the unbloody renewal, or rather re-presentation, of the Sacrifice of Calvary upon the altar and the most perfect method the Church has to offer latria, or adoration, to God. |

| | Mass |
| | Mass is the ritual of chants, readings, prayers, and other ceremonies used in the celebration of the Eucharist in the Roman Catholic church. | | | As the church grew, and priests were needed for the masses in parish churches, concelebration - the celebration of Mass by more than one priest - became common, although the practice was restricted to the major feasts of the year. | | | The central religious service of the Roman Catholic church, Mass is the celebration of the sacrament of the Eucharist, the rite instituted by Jesus Christ at the Last Supper. |

| | "Roman Catholicism: The Mass, No. 2 |
| | The history of Holy Scripture and of the Christian church is the history the church's understanding of her relationship to God and the way of salvation being corrupted by theories and practices the Bible does not teach. | | | This is the testimony of multitudes of Christians who were raised in the Roman Catholic church and left it when they found true faith in Christ who redeemed them from their sin and guilt by the sacrifice of himself on the cross once-for-all. | | | The ardent Catholic protests that their view of the Eucharist doesn't mean they believe less in Christ, why, they say, it means they believe in him more. |

| | The ROMAN CATHOLIC MASS and the BIBLE |
| | All the blessings of the Gospel are withheld from those who accept the doctrine of the Mass, for it is in complete and deadly opposition to the Gospel. | | | The Christian sees in the Lord's Supper a memorial, a communion, a feast of thanksgiving, and some indeed regard it as a sacrament, but in Rome it is a "Sacrifice"!—ceremony in which the celebrant boldly claims to offer for the living and the dead, a repetition of the atoning sacrifice of Christ on Calvary. | | | First: The doctrine of the Mass denies the all-sufficiency of the sacrifice of Christ,-the Atonement,-a truth which the Bible has safeguarded at every point, in language that cannot be misunderstood. |

| | Roman Catholicism - Christian or Pagan? |
| | The Catholic Church gives honor and adoration to Mary that the Scriptures do not; she is readily referred to as "holy," the "Mother of God," and has been dubbed the "Co-Redemptrix," thereby making her an object of idolatrous worship (e.g., the rosary has ten prayers to Mary for each two directed to God). | | | In actuality, Roman Catholicism places itself above Scripture; i.e., it teaches that the Roman Catholic Church produced the Bible and that the pope is Christ's vicar on earth. | | | Though of pagan origin, the doctrine of purgatory was first conceptualized in the professing church in the second century; the Roman Church proclaimed it as an article of faith in 1439 at the Council of Florence, and it was confirmed by Trent in 1548. |

| | What the Holy Bible says about the Roman Catholic Mass and the Doctrine of Transubstantation by John Knox |
| | Roman Catholics claim that the Church has power to set up, or invent new ways of honouring God as it sees fit, and God accepts them, but this is clearly not the truth. | | | I know that the Mass has for centuries been regarded as a means of honouring God, and cemented a sacred foundation of the Roman Catholic faith. | | | What spirit tells us that the Mass is a sacrifice for the sins of the living and the dead, the Spirit of God or the spirit of man? The Catholics shamelessly claim Peter and John celebrated the first Mass, but they have not one shred of Scriptural proof. |

| | The Roman Catholic Mass Refuted - the Eucharist is Not Jesus! |
| | A rational interpretation is that by treating the solemn remembrance of Christ's sacrifice in an unworthy manner, one reviles the living, heaven dwelling Son of God and not the symbols of his sacrifice. | | | The Roman Catholic Mass Refuted - the Eucharist is Not Jesus! | | | But the Roman Catholic's would like you to believe that you are perpetuating ("offering anew" - P248, 3P) a real, bloodless sacrifice of Christ (the Eucharist - Chapter 19), and at the same time, commemorating the actual sacrifice made by Christ on the cross at Calvary. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Liturgy of the Mass |
| | But, in churches that have no official conventual Mass and in the case of the priest who says Mass for his own devotion, one only of the coinciding Masses is said, the others being (usually) commemorated by saying their collects, secrets, and post-Communions after those of the Mass chosen. | | | Only in churches which have no ordained person except one priest, and in which high Mass is thus impossible, is it allowed to celebrate the Mass (on Sundays and feasts) with most of the adornment borrowed from high Mass, with singing and (generally) with incense. | | | It is by his share in the Mass in Communion that the Catholic proclaims his union with the great Church. |

| | The Roman Catholic Mass |
| | That the Catholic Church considers Christ actually present in the mass is evidenced by the fact that it requires that the wafer be worshipped: "All the faithful ought to show to this most holy sacrament the worship which is due to the true God, as has always been the custom of the Catholic Church. | | | According to Catholic doctrine, the mass is a re-sacrifice of Christ in which the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ when it is blessed by the Catholic priest. | | | This means the wafer used in the mass is to be worshipped as Almighty God, both when it is offered during the mass and afterward when it is placed in a little tabernacle until the next mass. |

| | Mass is made up of the Liturgy of the Word (Bible readings and Homily) and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. | | | Sometimes people realize that the first half of the Mass is essentially a service of the Word (Bible readings); all too often, however, even Catholics fail to comprehend that the whole Mass is permeated with a biblical theology, direct quotes from the Sacred Scriptures, and indirect or subtle allusions to biblical verses or themes. | | | Since we in the Catholic tradition give high preference to the Liturgy of the Eucharist, the altar is central, not the pulpit. |
