To say Christ’s sacrifice on the cross has to be repeated is nonsensical not to mention against Scripture.

Saying the bread and wine mystically become his actual flesh and blood worked well to keep superstitious peasants in the middle ages, who were not permitted to read the Bible, under control.

Superstition pervades RCC doctrine and practice.

For Christ there is no time, as He experiences everything in the perpetual NOW.

So for Christ His crucifixion is happening in his NOW which is our present time.

His sacrifice once and for all is eternally happening and is that which the Catholic Church celebrates in the Mass.

So to say it is repeated is plain wrong and not at all what Catholics believe.

We are not saying that bread and wine become Christs Body and Blood - He does in John 6.

Maybe that chapter is not in the prot bible so you can ignore it - who knew.

That would explain the difference.

For the Greater Glory of God and the faithful who do as He commands in John .
