Bible Christian?

The Holy Mass is very biblical. Check out the footnotes on this pdf to see how much of the Holy Mass is quoting or referencing scripture. (note: this is the a study version of the re-translation of the mass from Latin into English, which will likely go into effect around 2012, as soon as the remaining parts are translated and approved. Note the changes from our current translation. The New translation is intended to be closer to the original Latin and better reflect the theology of the Mass).

For a more in depth discussion of the biblical foundation for the Mass, check out Dr. Scott Hahn's (a convert to Catholicism and renown biblical scholar) book The Lamb's Supper.
