The priest has the power in his magic finger, to draw God down from heaven, whenever the priest chooses. Jesus is then at his beck and call—Oh the power of it! The priest can crucify Him over and over.

Actually, not quite. The Mass has the power to take the congregation to a different space/time, so everyone in the congregation is experiencing the original crucification.

Yes, the priest is Christ, according to the Catholic church

showing signs and wonders, pulling fire down fron heaven

Matthew 24:23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not.

Who would want to experience His crucifixion??? Other than the people that wanted Him dead???

The Apostles didn't want to experience Jesus' crucifixion, and they didn't...They all left...They wanted no part of the crucifixion...

That shows us that if your sacrifice was the real deal, and the Apostles were alive, they'd walk out of your church everytime you pulled out the wafers...

Peter wouldn't be caught dead in your church during one of your Masses...

I've theorized this concept as well. I call it the "Gene Roddenberry was a catholic" theory. What happens is that the priest opens up a worm hole in the space-time continuum. He then reaches through, grabs a hunk of flesh and fills his chalice with blood. As he retrieves these items through the worm hole, the structure of their DNA must be altered in order to stabilize them in our dimension. The miracle occurs in the fact that bread and wine are the most stable substances in which to transform flesh and blood into. All of this occurs so fast that no one in our world is the wiser.
