The Last Supper Debunks Protestants on the Eucharist

Proving the sacrifice of the Mass against Protestants. The Walenburchs say: "III. Response 2: Crocius argues that the old Latin translator rendered these verbs in the future tense, implying that Christ was referring only to the Cross. However, the translator did not always use the future tense, as Luke 22:19 shows: “This is my body, which is given for you.” Bellarmine rightly notes that these different readings are not contradictory but complementary. Since Christ said “is poured out,” meaning “is offered and libated to God” as a representation of the future sacrifice on the Cross, it follows that the Cross was indeed a future event. At the same time, it follows that from that moment until the end of the world, Christ’s blood would continue to be poured out (i.e., offered and libated) in the sacrifice of the Mass, which has replaced all the ancient sacrifices. Thus, all readings are true—whether we say “is poured out” (referring to the present Supper), “will be poured out” (referring to the Cross), or “shall be poured out” (referring to the perpetual offering in the Church). None should be denied—especially the first—since the Evangelists and Paul use the present tense, and there is no compelling reason to reject the literal meaning of the words. Crocius cites Bellarmine as if no solid argument were provided, but Bellarmine presents a foundation so strong that neither Crocius nor the Lutherans can refute it."
