Influential blogger Justin Taylor posted an article, quoting Chris Castaldo’s “Three Misnomers to Avoid” concerning what the Roman Catholic Church teaches concerning the Mass. Rather than bringing clarity, I believe the article is very unhelpful and confusing.

Castaldo asserts that it is a misnomer to say that:

1. “[Roman] Catholics teach that Christ is ‘physically present’ in the Mass.”
2. “[Roman] Catholics teach that Christ is re-sacrificed at the Mass.”
3. “[Roman] Catholics teach that Christ dies at the Mass.”

Turretinfan provides an excellent response to Castaldo’s claims here.
