I am not getting it, do you mind explaining what you see? I think a definition of biblical idolatry would be helpful for the discussion. Thank you.

If you are asking a serious question, and really desire to put in some time to learn, I will give you these materials to help you begin a study on the idolatry of the mass in particular:

Calvin's Institutes - Book 4, chapter 17, sections 13-37

Turretin's Institutes - Volume 3, topic 19, questions 29-30


And for a work dealing with post-Tridentine developments in the RCC regarding the supper:

G. C. Berkouwer - Studies in Dogmatics, The Sacraments, chapter 13 "The Lord's Supper: a sacrifice?"
