Catholic AnswerThe Sacraments are all dependent on the action of Our Blessed Savior, apart from Him, and His Sacrifice of Himself on the Cross, they have no validly. The Sacrament of the Sacraments is the Most Holy Eucharist, because the Eucharist is the the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of Our Blessed Savior, Himself. The Sacrifice of the Mass is the re-presentation, the presentation AGAIN, of His Sacrifice of Himself on Calvary. So when we are witnessing the Mass, we are witnessing the actual Sacrifice of Our Blessed Savior of Himself on Calvary two thousand years ago. Remember, with God there is no time, when we are at Mass, we are witnessing Our Blessed Savior's crucifixion from God's point of view. The Mass, thus, is the Crucifixion, and the Crucifixion is the entire basis of our salvation. All of the other sacraments depend on this one, this is why the Crucifix is used by Catholics, and is necessary for Holy Mass.The CATHOLIC DENOMINATION uses the CRUCIFIX.
