In Christianity, we the Pentecostals call it Service while our fellow brothers in Catholics call it Mass.

Although they have the same objective, I would have prefer it to be called Sunday Service, because we all go to church to hear the word and get our soul renewed which is also known as Service.

Can those in Catholics explain better why is called Sunday Mass?


Brethren what's your stand?

The making of the eucharist is what makes the mass differant from the normal pentecostal service.Even if catholics decide to come together for anything that does not involve the eucharist it would not be reffered to as mass.The eucharist is the central theme behind the mass

^^ If Roman Catholics had good sense to explain their own position like above (rather than saying others do not have this, that or the other) many people will leave them alone and not bother to criticise them for what they believe --- even those who don't agree with them.
