TradCatKnight: The True Mass...-One is a deliberate SACRIFICE. Catholic. -The other, Protestant: "The Lord’s Supper or Mass is a sacred meeting or assembly of the People of God, met together under the presidency of the priest, to CELEBRATE THE MEMORIAL OF THE LORD." (no. 7, Institutio Generalis, ch. 2 Novus Ordo: De structura Missae, 1969) The definition of the Mass is thus limited to that of a “supper,” and this term is found constantly repeated (nos. 8, 48, 55d, 56). This “supper” is further characterized as an assembly presided over by the priest and held as a memorial of the Lord, recalling what He did on the first Maundy Thursday. None of this in the very least implies either the Real Presence, or the reality of the sacrifice, or the Sacramental function of the consecrating priest, or the intrinsic value of the Eucharistic Sacrifice independently of the people’s presence. It does not, in a word, imply any of the essential dogmatic values of the Mass which together provide its true definition. Here the deliberate omission of these dogmatic values amounts to their having been superseded and therefore, at least in practice, to their denial.
