The mass is a cheap imitation of Old testament worship. Sure there are little twists here and there but for the most part it is the same form. If you don't believe me we can take a closer look.
IN the OT form of worship there were priests who were ordained by God. These men were to be from the tribe of Levi and the lineage of Aaron. It was their job to offer sacrifices for the sins of the nation. They also were required to first offer sacrifices for themselves. This was to ensure that their own sin would not taint the sacrifice for the people.
In the mass men are ordained by the power of the pope. It is their job to offer up the perpetual sacrifice of Christ for the people. They too must perform acts of cleansing so that they will not taint their "holy" sacrifice. One such act is a washing of their hands to take away their impurity. This washing takes place before the sacrifice, to again, make it "pure." They also are the first to partake of the sacrifice before giving it to everyone.
Feel free to list more examples. I am going to stop here as this post serves only as a stepping stone for the next.
