What did Early Christians Believe About the Mass? – “The Catholic Mass” Ep. 10

Last episode, we saw the development of the Liturgy in terms of its rites – that is, how it was practiced, what the rubrics looked like, and where early Christians would gather to celebrate the Mass. Today, we’ll look at the same topic, but from a Theological perspective; what did Early Christians, the Apostles, and the Church Fathers believe about the Mass? We’ll look at the writings of St. Paul, the Acts of the Apostles, and two of the early Church Fathers from the 2nd century, to see if the Eucharist and the Mass were ever seen as simply symbolic. Or was there a continuous belief that the Sacrifice of the Cross and the Mass were one and the same?

What is the SSPX Podcast?

The SSPX Podcast is produced by Angelus Press, which has as its mission the fortification of traditional Catholics so that they can defend the Faith, and reaching out to those who have not yet found Tradition.  - - - - - -

What is the SSPX?

The main goal of the Society of Saint Pius X is to preserve the Catholic Faith in its fullness and purity, to teach its truths, and to diffuse its virtues, especially through the Roman Catholic priesthood. Authentic spiritual life, the sacraments, and the traditional liturgy are its primary means of bringing this life of grace to souls. Although the traditional Latin Mass is the most visible and public expression of the work of the Society, we are committed to defending Catholic Tradition in its entirety: all of Catholic doctrine and morals as the Church has always defended them. What people need is the Catholic Faith, without compromise, with all the truth and beauty which accompanies it. https://sspx.org
