The “out of time therefore any sequence of events makes no difference” argument seems to be the latest attempt to make sense of the idea that Jesus was sacrificed in the eucharist meal before he died, and the sacrifice is left on the altar forever since “he is out of time”.

I have yet to see any basis for this latest verbal gymnastic.

It's hardly a "latest attempt" -- this is how it has always been believed.

Christ’s bloody sacrifice on Calvary took place once, and it will never be repeated.Jesus’ offering was perfect, efficacious, and eternal.

The Mass is a participation in this one heavenly offering. The risen Christ becomes present on the altar and offers himself to God as a living sacrifice. Like the Mass, Christ words at the Last Supper are words of sacrifice, "This is my body . . . this is my blood . . . given up for you."
