Critique

Of the Third Edition of the Roman Missal
pertaining to the Order of the Catholic Mass.



There are many problems throughout the world that can only be resolved by recognizing and loving the true God. (To Love is to Willingly Serve.)

Most major
religions can be united when there is real faith that is open to truth.
A proper understanding of Catholic liturgy opens minds to truths that unify.

The
process of decay occurring since the foundation of the true Church has gradually taken place through infiltration of errors into its common beliefs and liturgy.

Satan knows that
spiritual truths must be replaced with humanistic values.

Infiltration of errors into the liturgy has been
gradual over the centuries so that the perception that some error has been integrated, or that a truth has been replaced, is not given special attention.

While this document is focused on the third revision of the four Eucharistic prayers used in the Catholic Mass, there are
also other concerns that need to be corrected.

These
deficiencies can be corrected through a moral faith-filled priesthood.

A
morally valid priest fully accepts the content of Sacred Scripture.

If a priest does not believe this he should be considered in heresy for failure to accept the instructions given him when he was ordained;
to read, believe, practice and teach the content of Sacred Scripture. (Roman Pontifical: pages 171 & page 192 – 2 Tim. 3:16)

We are told in the 1st letter of John,
chapter 4 verse 1:
do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world.”

There is no more important
spirit to be tested than that of the one elected to lead the Church as Vicar of Christ.

Does he observe the following admonition of Holy Scripture: “
Reprimand publicly those who do sin, so that the rest also will be afraid.”? This passage is in 1st Tim. 5:20.

“you are to deliver this man to Satan for the destruction of his flesh,
so that his spirit may be saved on the day of the Lord.” (1 Cor. 5:5)

Should not a bishop be considered guilty of
grave offense if he does not properly reprimand?



Best understanding of a congregation takes place when the vernacular is used. However the repetitive content could make use of one or more of the three languages on the Cross;
Hebrew, Latin, and Greek.

The following is a brief analysis of the
Third Edition of the Revised Roman Missal of the current Catholic Liturgy recently approved by American bishops and submitted to the Vatican for final approval.

A link to a more detailed analysis is at the end of this document.

The
3rd revision has been established from a humanistic perspective of the Mass. It does not build upon the true values of the Mass, nor does it give credibility to the real, the material presence of Jesus as the consecrated Bread and as the consecrated Wine.

The full presence of Jesus;
body, blood, soul, and divinity; is in both the consecrated Bread and in the consecrated Wine.

When giving
Jesus to recipient the priest could say one of these:
     Cross     The Son of God.          Cross     Filius Dei.          Cross     The Bread of Life.
     Cross     The Incarnate Word.          Cross     The Son of man.

The concept conveyed when Holy Communion is given using the words, The Body of Christ or Corpus Christi, can be misleading.



The key part of Mass,
the consecrations of bread and wine by Jesus Himself, (ministerial priests act in persona Christi) does not clearly state another great value of the Eucharistic Liturgy.

All offerings of
all Masses are combined at the “Last Supper Table” with Jesus’ own lifetime works. These will be joined with the one salvific offering that Jesus makes on Calvary the next day. These events take place in 33 A.D.  "We (Jesus and believers) have to do the works of the one who sent me while it is day." – Jn. 9:4

Last Supper and Crucifixion: 1.
Instructions in faith. 2. Ordination of priests to act as
His visible instruments when
He consecrates the Bread of Life, His living Body and Blood.
(Ministerial priests act in persona Christi.)
3. The next day Jesus suffers and dies so that those who believe in Him may enter Heaven through its now opened gates.

We are to participate in the offerings Jesus made during His lifetime that
He will bring to the cross on Good Friday of 33 A.D. when He offers them to His and our Father, to His and our God
(Jn. 20:17), (
So then the Lord Jesus, after he spoke to them, was taken up into heaven and took his seat at the right hand of God. (Mk. 16:19)),

the one universal propitiatory offering, His
obedience unto death, together with His and our offerings made throughout time and place.

Each Person of The Holy Trinity is universal and unrestricted.

Sacred Scripture may not be changed, diminished, or terminated,
even by a pope, without committing heresy.

A moral pope may expound the teachings of Scripture and make binding statements, but he, or a future moral pope, may always loose them.
( See Matthew 16:19 )

The following are examples of a misplaced understanding of the
infallible Word of God.

Example 1: The response by the congregation,
"And with your spirit," denies the spirit as being the eternal intelligence responsible for actions during life; for sin; for relationship with God.

The mortal body is the instrument of the spirit.
The spirit is not a tool of the body.
(Ref. Rom. 8:6-8)

Example 2:
"absolution by the Priest" "our sins forgiven."
Such presentations have led many Catholics to
falsely believe that individual confessions to a priest are no longer necessary. These concepts are found in other places of liturgy.

Example 3: In the Nicene Creed:
"God from God."
This error dates back many centuries. It should read:
"Divinity from Divinity."
In Scripture Jesus is always referred to as
Son of God or as Son of man.

There is
only one God and that, in the singular form, is the Father; in the collective form the term refers to the Holy Trinity. This does not mean each person of the Trinity is individually God.
In royal families are princes also known as kings?

Example 4:
Bread and wine being presented as offerings.
A total satanic misdirection for what should be understood as taking place regarding participation in the offerings being made to the Father, through and with Jesus' own offerings.
Bread and wine are neither gifts nor offerings.

Example 5:
"may our sacrifice in your sight this day be pleasing to you, Lord God." It takes a lot of misunderstanding or nerve for a priest to say that Jesus is our sacrifice. Jesus is making the sacrifice for His and our benefit, but it is not our sacrifice.

Why is Jesus' offering of sacrifice to the Father, made at the Lord's Supper, the sacrifice of the priest and the congregation
? Jesus has not yet even been sacrificed.
See the fuller critique for many references and explanations.


When do Catholics believe that they see Jesus, or do they?

"For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who sees the Son and believes in him may have eternal life, and I shall raise him (on) the last day."
Jn. 6:40

Jesus said to them, "I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me will never hunger, and whoever believes in me will never thirst.” Jn. 6:35

Is our faith in the rewards of this life?

Do we not believe in the
punishments that exist in the next life?

The
Last Supper, 33 A.D., is a completion, a fulfillment of the Passover of Jesus; preparation for slaughtering the innocent Lamb, the Son of God.

Through and with Jesus
the righteous escape the punishments of Hell, just as the descendants of Jacob escaped death by the blood of an unblemished lamb.



The whole concept of Mass is commonly misunderstood.

When it is said,
"Do this in memory of Me"

Jesus is asking us to
honor Him by participating in His offerings for the good of His Church; by remembering His life's activities as a pattern for our doing good works;
The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy.
(Mt. 25:31-46)

At the table of the Last Supper we are joining with the living Jesus who is offering the works
of His lifetime and asking us to share, through Him, our own offerings to God when He makes
His propitiatory offering the next day (Good Friday) when He is SACRIFICED.

During the "Last Supper" Jesus faces the people (apostles) telling them to
participate with Him.
This not a choice
, it is a command we must obey if we expect to be eternally with Him in Heaven.

In giving us the “Bread of Life” (His Body - His entire being)
Jesus is offering us the
opportunity to willingly share with the works He has done.

Will we receive Him while in the state of sin?
Are we willing to help carry some of the burden of the cross for our own and our neighbor’s good?

When giving us His Body or Blood (either is the Bread of Life and contains His entire being) Jesus is saying that when we are asked to suffer in some way, for the building up of the Church, we should be willing to do so.

Keep in mind that a little suffering now is far better than eternal suffering after the death of our body (our spirit is eternal).

The
"Last Supper" is not to be presented as theatrics or entertainment for this life. It is a place for instruction in the entire "Word of God" so that we are better prepared to enter into the next life.

The Original Catholic
Mass of 33 A.D. continues now and in the future.  Each Mass is an opportunity to participate in the "Last Supper" offerings.

Through Jesus we offer our works
“Every high priest is taken from among men and made their representative before God, to offer gifts and sacrifices for sins.” Heb. 5:1 in the Mass said at the table of the Lord's Supper in the year of His suffering and death.

When Jesus, from the Last Supper table,
consecrates bread and wine through the ministerial priest, (in persona Christi) He is giving us an opportunity to share our worthy offerings through and with Him, most worthily, when we receive Him as living Bread, the Bread of Life.

“For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven
and gives life to the world.”
(Jn. 6:33)

Jesus said, “I am the bread of life” (Jn. 6:35; 48)

“I came down from heaven (Jn. 6:38)

“I am the living bread that came down from heaven;
whoever eats this bread will live forever;
and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the life of the world.”
(Jn. 6:51)

“This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your ancestors who
ate and still died, whoever eats this bread will live forever.”
(Jn. 6:58)

Due to corrupted liturgy there are few people who have a proper understanding of the faith that Jesus conveyed to the original Christian Church, a.k.a. the Catholic Church.

The bishops of the United States have approved the Third Revision of the post Vatican II Mass
originated under the authority of Pope Paul VI.
In effect two revisions have been determined faulty.

This 3rd faulty Revision has been approved by the American bishops and is awaiting final approval by the Vatican that has already approved two faulty liturgies.

Mt. 26:26-28 While they were eating, Jesus took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and giving it to his disciples said,
"Take and eat; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it, all of you, for this is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed on behalf of many for the forgiveness of sins.

Mk. 14:22-24 While they were eating, he took bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, and said,
"Take it; this is my body." Then he took a cup, gave thanks, and gave it to them,
and they all drank from it. He said to them,
"This is my blood of the covenant, which will be shed for many."

Lk. 22:19-20 Then he took the bread, said the blessing, broke it, and gave it to them, saying,

"This is my body, which will be given for you; do this in memory of me."
And likewise the cup
after they had eaten, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which will be shed for you."

1 Cor. 11:23-26 For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said,

"This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."
In the same way also the cup,
after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it,
in remembrance of me."
For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.



This and related documents are intended to encourage replacement
of faulty masses with doctrinally sound liturgies that produce faith.
