@Sapientia400@Milo_H4 You are being deliberately dense and disingenuous. If you want further instruction on this, I suggest you talk to a Priest. I am bowing out
CCC 1413 (in brief summary): "By the consecration the transubstantiation of the bread and wine into the Body and Blood of Christ is brought about. Under the consecrated species of bread and wine Christ himself, living and glorious, is present in a true, real, and substantial manner: his Body and his Blood, with his soul and his divinity."
the Apostles are widely regarded as the Church’s first bishops in historic Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox, etc.), serving as the source of the episcopal office that continues through their successors. This underpins claims of continuity with the original Church founded by Christ. Traditions vary on details (e.g., Peter’s primacy), but the core idea is consistent across patristic sources.
@TaylorRMarshall Hard agree. A mass with the structure of the TLM but simply spoken in the local vernacular (maybe with some Latin elements kept) would be more than good enough.
@ecuataylor@lucystone1871@J01455660@Nikthenord Which none of the Mormons have. Only churches with Apostolic Succession (the apostles being the original priests of the church as ordained by Jesus) have priestly authority. All else is heresy.
