Espesyalman, Legliz la ofri sakrifis la nan ekaristik la ak Bondye-yo ak l 'pou kont li-at Sentespri Mass. Nan kontras, Katolik pa ofri sèvis ofrann bèt bay Sen yo. An reyalite, li ka sipriz kritik konnen ke yerachi a Legliz kondanne yon gwoup relijye nan katriyèm syèk la pou eksè konsènan Vyèj Mari a. St Epiphanius, Evèk la nan Salamin, pale byen fò rèd la li te ye tankou Kollyridians a pou ofri sakrifis pen l ' (Panarion 79). Lekti sa a, kèk ta ka fòseman konkli ke Epiphanius dwe te jeneralman dezapwouve nan Martial devosyon. Ki di lekontrè a, sepandan, Epiphanius antouzyasm fè pwomosyon ansèyman Legliz la a sou Mari nan travay la menm nan ki li rale zòrèy Kollyridians nan.

Specifically, the Church offers the Sacrifice of the Eucharist to God—and to Him alone—at Holy Mass. By contrast, Catholics do not offer sacrifice to the Saints. In fact, it may surprise critics to know that the Church hierarchy censured a religious group in the fourth century for excesses regarding the Virgin Mary. Saint Epiphanius, the Bishop of Salamis, rebuked the sect known as the Kollyridians for offering sacrificial bread to her (Panárion 79). Reading this, some might erroneously conclude that Epiphanius must have generally disapproved of Marian devotion. To the contrary, however, Epiphanius enthusiastically promotes the Church’s teachings on Mary in the same work in which he rebukes the Kollyridians.
