Note 5a — LETTER, &c.

Cardinal Cajetan in 2 Thess. 2. speaks of the “Sacrificum altaris” as a matter merely of traditionary authority, while, your Bourdeaux New Testament wishes to make it Scriptural also, as appears by its horrid falsification of Acts xiii. 2. by rendering it—“as they offered to the Lord the Sacrifice of the Mass.” le Sacrifice de la Messe. What will not Popery do, to gain a point? Your Catechism of the Council of Trent says—“Our Lord himself, at his last Supper, offered to his Eternal Father his precious body and blood, under the appearances of bread and wine, at the same time declaring himself ‘a Priest for ever according to the Order of Melchisedec.’” Was a greater falsehood every uttered?
