Re: Source vs Content
I’ve observed Protestant communion and Catholic mass. There’s no significant difference between them.

Re: Source vs Content
That’s an obvious example of moving the goalposts. If mass and communion are so different why isn’t there an observable difference?
Does it really come down to the doctrine of Transubstantiation? Because that’s just a belief derived from taking the Bible too literally.

Exactly my point. It's an obscenity; a glorification of torture.
I don't know why there is any confusion about this at all because it's historically the case that Mass is a Catholic practice rejected by Protestants. Communion in the Protestant churches is not Mass.
There's no confusion, you're just flat out, in your face wrong. Again. Mass is celebrated in Protestant and Anglican and Catholic etc etc churches all over the globe.
Maybe with the exception of your loony tunes church.

Re: Source vs Content
I hadn't equated it with transubstantiation, I thought there was more of a ritual involved, but yes I suppose it is the same issue. That being the case, historically Protestants were willing to die rather than accept that Catholic definition, so it's not a trivial thing and you certainly can't say Protestants also practice Mass. there is no sacrificing of Christ over and over in Protestant churches, that is what is considered to be blasphemous, plus the definition of the communion elements as actual flesh and blood.

It might be a bit more ritualistic but it is a ritual, whether you call it communion or mass.

People are willing to die over trivial things. And it seems that you aren’t aware of any significant differences....

What exactly are you talking about? If you mean the symbolic eating of the bread and drinking the wine Protestants do so it.
quote:

That IS Transubstantiation. It’s also just a silly Catholic belief. Hardly something that justifies your claims.

Wikipedia can and does:
quote:
Mass is the main eucharistic liturgical service in many forms of Western Christianity. The term Mass is commonly used in the Roman Catholic[1] and Anglican churches,[2] as well as in some Lutheran,[3] Methodist,[4][5] Western Rite Orthodox, and Old Catholic churches.
Other Christian denominations may employ terms such as Divine Service or worship service (and often just "service"), rather than the word Mass.[6] link

Re: Source vs Content
Yeah, all Catholic offshoots, not Protestant. And not all of those denominations have anything they call "Mass." Every church I've ever been in calls Mass a heresy or blasphemy.

Re: Source vs Content
Maybe she is right...in her own world. After all, you claim that believers make it all up. How could we judge what any particular church makes up? The RCC, in my opinion, has no greater claim to legitimacy than any other church around.

Sorry Faith but once again as usual reality says you are wrong. The Anglican Communion and Lutherans and Methodists and the others are most definitely Protestants despite what your cult might believe.

Re: Source vs Content
It was the Reformers themselves that rejected the Mass, not any particular denomination.

Re: Source vs Content
Since you’ve just labelled the Lutheran’s a Catholic offshoot and not Protestant may we take it that you no longer consider Luther one of the Reformers ?
