Bake Me a Cake as Fast as You Can
Roman bishop James Griffin of Columbus, Ohio, used an interesting word in his article on the need for more "vocations" to the priesthood in the April 21 issue of 'The Catholic Times.' The bishop wrote:
"Especially in the relation to the Sacrament of the Eucharist is the priest essential. If we are to remain a "eucharist-centered" Church, we must have priests in sufficient numbers to CONFECT (emphasis mine) the Eucharist, and thus bring the body and blood, soul and divinity of Jesus to his Church and to his people."
The verb CONFECT means to "prepare or make by mixing and combining." Bishop Griffin is not referring to his priests standing over a hot stove making wafers, but the standing over an altar, whereby the priest by CONFECT(ing) Jesus prepares and makes Him by mixing and combining! And then people eat Him!
Furthermore, the object of the verb CONFECT is the noun CONFECTION. If CONFECT is used to describe the act, then we can certainly call the result of that act, the eucharist, a CONFECTION. Hmmmmmm. Let's take a look at some dictionary definitions of CONFECTION and see how Roman Catholicism, by use of such a word, inadvertently unmasks it's eucharistic idolatry by comparing Christ to the production of a chocolate bar:
1. Any kind of candy or sweet preparation.
2. A sweetened mixture of drugs.
3. A product or work having a frivolous, whimsical, or contrived effect.
Jesus does not CONFECT Himself into an inanimate wafer at the command of a Roman priest. The Roman eucharist is truly a "whimsical (and) contrived effect." It is a sugar-coated poison pill designed to bring spiritual death. Please keep praying that many Catholics confess the sin of wafer worship, leave the Catholic Church forever, and receive Christ by faith ALONE.
