Question: Why does the Catholic Church call Mass “the Eucharistic sacrifice”?
This term, “Eucharistic sacrifice,” hearkens back to the Council of Trent in the 1500s which, in response to concerns some Protestant reformers had about the Mass, explained that the Catholic Mass does not involve an endless series of “sacrificing Jesus” anew.
