A New German Bishop: Priests Are "Currently" Needed for Eucharists

Thank you for that response, but respectfully, notwithstanding what may well be the long history of equating the Holy Eucharist to the Mass, I have never heard the word being used as a substitute for the Holy Mass since I have been receiving Holy Communion in the early 1940s. Indeed, even then we referred to Holy Communion as the Holy Eucharist, interchangably.

Thank you for that response, but respectfully, notwithstanding what may well be the long history of equating the Holy Eucharist to the Mass, I have never heard the word being used as a substitute for the Holy Mass since I have been receiving Holy Communion in the early 1940s. Indeed, even then we referred to Holy Communion as the Holy Eucharist, interchangably.
But now, actually suddenly, referring the Holy Mass is to be known as a Eucharist. I haven't raised this question with a priest from the SSPX (where I regularly assist), but I have never heard anyone at our church refer to the Mass in that way.
have no firm basis for suggesting this (that's why I posed the question), but I strongly suspect it is related to the false ecumenism of Vatican II.
The Protestants detest any reference to the Mass as a "sacrifice" and (like many modern priests and followers of the Novus Ordo Mass), call it a "supper"--which, appropriately, might well be consider a "thanksgiving." Nevertheless, that is not Catholic.

A New German Bishop: Priests Are "Currently" Needed for Eucharists

Why has this site (as well as some others) now calling the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass a "Eucharist"? That is a new thing. Does anyone know when and where this started, and more importantly, why?

Papa Frociesco "Knows Many Good Holy Homosexual Seminarians and Priests”

What a wonderful story, Christopher. Please forgive me for initially misreading you. And yes, the SSPX is a Godsend to many. I have been assisting at an SSPX chapel for a good few years in Florida and look forward to each Holy Mass as the pinnacle of my day.

Respectfully, Christopher, when you stand before God you will judged as a Catholic on your faithfulness to the true teachings of the Church. Your complaints against Pope Francis and his support for homosexuals won't amount to a row of pins.

Remember Francis’ "Don’t Breed Like Rabbits"? Now He Wants "More Babies"

The real tragedy is that both when Pope Francis was discouraging women from getting pregnant, or as he is now doing, encouraging women to have babies, the interests of God were not any of his concerns. His only interest is that of the world's.

Hosts Found in Church Parking Lot

Why does the opening paragraph of this story speak of "consecrated" hosts, but then quotes the priest from that parish as saying they did not come from that church and were probably "not" consecrated?

Francis: Cardinal Sarah Is "Bitter" and Archbishop Gänswein "Has Hurt Me"

I suppose referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "ex-Pope Benedict XVI" (rather than "former") is grammatically correct, but enemy view almost unseemly. if we can refer to former Presidents, Senators and Governors, etc., without including the "ex," it seems to me we should do the same for our former popes--regardless of what we may have thought about them during their reigns.

Francis Has Given up Presiding at the Novus Ordo Eucharist

Why does Gloria TV refer to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as a "Eucharist?" Are they simply mocking the Novus Ordo Mass, or have they simply adopted the "modern" name for the liturgy?

Anonymous Cardinal Writes about What Must Change after Francis

It is almost a certainty that Demos II did not receive his Red hat from Pope Francis. And if he is a cardinal under 80 by the time Pope Francis moves on he'll only have one vote.
It would also be surprising to learn that his thoughts as set forth in his text would have much impact, if any, on a majority of the other voting cardinals who were made by Pope Francis.

Jordan Peterson: Church Became "Shallow and Contemptible" After Vatican II

Like many others, he also believes that the popes, bishops and priests of the counterfeit Conciliar Church (the shadow church that grew out of Vatican II) is the Catholic Church. He could not be more wrong.

But even though the leaders of the Conciliar Church have the buildings, the authority, and hold the reins of power, they cannot change the true teachings of the Catholic Church. Those who witness at the Novus ordo mass and believe the teachings of Conciliarist leaders are very foolish.

A somewhat analogous scenario is playing out in America, whereby key elected government leaders are also wear the hats of the Deep State--the unannounced organization which has surreptitiously assumed the reins of power and leads this nation from the shadows. Like the pope and the bishops, they lead their followers to destruction.

But, unlike the Catholic Church which Jesus Christ has assured us will prevail against the Gates of Hell intel the end of time, America's government "by the people" does not enjoy that promise. It's simply a matter of time before America becomes just another community in a world government.

I don't understand why does Gloria.tv refers to the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as a "Eucharist?"

Now that Gloria.tv is using it I'm confused.
Perhaps there's a plausible explanation that I've missed for this apparent change, but like referring to Catholics as "Christians," despite the fact that the name changes may be technically correct, if the earlier names for the Holy Mass and Catholics were appropriate for some two millennium, I see no good reason to change.
I would sincerely welcome any thoughts faithful Catholics might have on this point.

I'm with you on looking forward to a "Catholic" pope, and I agree that all is possible with God.

Most of the voting cardinals, by far, embrace his Modernist theology.

Sodoma Supplicans: Bergoglio's Homosexual Schism Widens

If a Catholic priest is willing to bless a homosexual union (under the sinful view of the Modernist Church leaders), why would he not want to bless the similarly sinful "union" of a man and woman who live together as man and wife without the benefit of marriage? He couldn't possibly believe that a homosexual union is less sinful than heterosexuals "shacking up" without the benefit of marriage?
