“How is the Mass Christ’s sacrifice?” This question leads to a discussion on how Catholics view the Mass as the re-presentation of Christ’s single sacrifice, despite the experience of imperfection after attending. Other topics include the validity of saying “My Lord and My God” during consecration, and how to address challenges to the authenticity of Scripture.

Questions Covered:

• 05:35 - Catholics believe that the Mass is the re-presentation of the single sacrifice of Christ, which Hebrews 10:14 says makes us perfect. But Catholics attend Mass and leave not perfected. Therefore, the Mass must not be the single sacrifice of Christ.
• 16:02 - A couple weeks ago I heard someone on CA say that you shouldn’t say “My Lord and My God” at the consecration. But my priest told me there is actually a partial indulgence for doing this. What’s true?
• 23:52 - How do you navigate the constant bombardment of people who deny the authenticity of scripture?
• 33:52 - Was Jesus always there from the beginning with God?
• 43:46 - The Hail Mary and the Hail Holy Queen seem like idolatry to me.
• 50:20 - What do Catholics believe about predestination? Is every event meant to be?
