False worship in the Roman Catholic Church:
Since true righteousness and its fruit are unavailable through a false gospel, the only means for worshipping a Holy God through a false gospel are also those devised by man himself. These means, taking the form of outward rituals and other religious paraphernalia, fall under the Second Commandment. Even a simple overview of the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) on the Lord’s supper shows that the RCC is no exception. Because the Roman Catholic Church promotes a false gospel, she must somehow establish a showing of the fruit of her own Church of Rome officially claims that in her ritual, the Mass, is the culmination of the worship men offer to Christ and through Him to the Father. She declares that the Mass is also the source and summit of her life. The sacrifice of Calvary, she alleges, is in her control since she declares her ritual, the Mass, to be one and the same sacrifice with that of the Lord Jesus Christ’s.
In contrast to the biblical Christ, Who is now reigning King of Kings and Lord of Lords and sitting at the right hand of God the Father, Rome consistently portrays the dying Christ, “the sacred victim“. Using the ritual of the Mass as her center of worship, which all the faithful on pain of mortal sin are required to attend, Rome teaches and dramatizes her false gospel by having her faithful offer themselves, together with the dying Christ, to Holy God of the Bible. She teaches that in the round white wafer, i.e., her Eucharist, is contained the physical Christ and His soul and divinity. This wafer is to receive worship due to Holy God alone.
The claim that Christ is immolated in the Mass:
The Vatican Council II Documents of the Roman Catholic Church teach, “For in the sacrifice of the Mass Our Lord is immolated when ’he begins to be present sacramentally as the spiritual food of the faithful under the appearances of bread and wine.’ It was for this purpose that Christ entrusted this sacrifice to the [Roman Catholic]
Church, that the faithful might share in it both spiritually, by faith and charity, and sacramentally, through the banquet of Holy Communion. Participation in the Lord’s Supper is always communion with Christ offering himself for us as a sacrifice to the Father.“
