“Are we transported to the Cross at every Mass?” This question opens a discussion about the profound connection between the Eucharist and Christ’s sacrifice. The conversation also addresses whether the SSPX can consecrate bishops without approval, the meaning of the word “Mass,” and a simple explanation of consecration for those seeking clarity.
