Here is an accurately transcribed paragraph form John O'Brien's book, Faith Of Millions, a book of instruction for Catholics that carries the nihil obstat from Rome. See if there is anything in this paragraph which seems contrary to the Bible, God's Word:

“When the priest pronounces the tremendous words of consecration, he reaches up into the heavens, brings Christ down from his throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered up again as the victim for the sins of men. It is a power greater than that of monarchs and emperors; it is greater than that of saints and angels, grater than that of Seraphim and Cherubim. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. The priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of man – not once but a thousand times! The priest speaks and lo! Christ, the eternal and omnipotent God, bows his head in humble obedience to the priest's command.”

Anything in that paragraph that you think is or might be unchristian? Aw, come on, you can say if there is.
