As a matter of fact, Yes. It is the SAME. The same ONE. Unique. Solo. SINGULAR. Unparalleled. Never repeated. Counting number One. UNO.
Christ is sacrificed once. In a bloody way, at Calvary. In a mystical way, beyond time and space. "The Lamb that was slain from the foundation of the world." (Revelation).
In the Mass, we enter into this eternity. It is a meeting of time and eternity, of space and infinity. Hence the Mass, the sacrifice of the Lamb ("This is the Lamb of God") is the self-same ONE sacrifice of Calvary.
It would be only honest to say that this goes beyond your comprehension. It cannot, in fact, be grasped by the unaided human intellect.
But it is not right to simply misrepresent it by saying Christ is sacrificed multiple times (over and over and over again.)
It's not true. It's not what the Catholic Church teaches.
So kindly cease misrepresenting our doctrine.
If you really don't "get it," the reasonable thing would be to say so, and stop right there.

Your issue is with your fellow Roman Catholic.

Forgive my frustration here...but...an ordained Roman Catholic priest said this.......not me.
Who is going to be better trained to understand what is happening....the ordained/trained Roman Catholic priest...or you...a layperson [no disrespect intended]??
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!
I know you don't like the quote....most Roman Catholics don't when confronted with the reality of what is happening during the Mass....not what you think is happening....but what is happening {at least from a RC perspective} based on what an ordained priest says.
As metmom has noted....if there is no shedding of blood there is no sacrifice. As Rome claims there is no shedding of blood at the Mass, then it is not a sacrifice. Can't have it both ways.
