text: The terminology is deliberately different because it describes two realities which are different. The Lutheran 'mass' is nothing more than a commorative meal where ordinary bread and ordinary wine are consumed. The Catholic Mass is the re-presentation the altar of Sacrifice on the Cross through which the merits of His death and Resurrection are made available for the living and the dead. The elements consumed are no longer bread and wine but the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Our Lord. No Lutheran would subscribe to that. Martin Luther called the Mass an abomination. The doctrine of the Mass hasn't changed so as far as he and his followers are concerned, it still is an abomination. I notice that the Swedes weren't too keen on Pope Francis celebrating Mass during his visit.
  It's not about me being forced to go to a church I don't wish to go to, it is about deceiving people that there is no difference between the Catholic Mass and the Lutheran Lord's Supper.
