But in the Mass it is denied, that the quick and the dead have remission of sins for the only passion of Christ; ⟨p. 223⟩except also Christ be daily offered for them by their Sacrificers. Further also it is taught, that Christ is bodily under the forms of bread and wine, and therefore is to bea worshipped in them.
