Tradition teaches:
The four sacrifices in the Holocaust of the Mass
1. The holocaust offered to God is an homage/offering to His sovereign greatness.
2. The sacrifice of propitiation offered to appease His Justice.
3. The Sacrifice of impetration offered to implore His bounty.
4. The Eucharistic sacrifice offered to thank Him for his bounty.
The Mass is a Holocaust which the One True Holy Roman Catholic and Apostolic Church offers to God as an offering to His greatness and power; a sacrifice of propitiation to appease His Justice; a sacrifice of impetration to solicit His bounty; and a Eucharistic sacrifice offered to Him in thanksgiving for all of His favors.
The Holocaust demands a spirit of humility, the sacrifice of expiation, a spirit of penance, compunction, and penitence; the sacrifice of impetration, a spirit of fervor and submission; the Eucharistic sacrifice, a spirit of love and gratitude.
Catholic Dictionary
PRIEST
Definition
An authorized mediator who offers a true sacrifice in
acknowledgment of God's supreme dominion over
human beings and in expiation for their sins. A
priest's mediation is the reverse of that of a prophet,
who communicates from God to the people.
A priest mediates from the people to God.
Christ, who is God and man, is the first, last, and
greatest priest of the New Law. He is the eternal
high priest who offered himself once and for all
on the Cross, a victim of infinite value, and
he continually renews that sacrifice on the altar
through the ministry of the Church.
Within the Church men who are specially ordained
as priests to consecrate and offer the body and
blood of Christ in the Mass. The Apostles were
the first ordained priests, when on Holy Thursday
night Christ told them to do in his memory what
he had just done at the Last Supper. All priests
and bishops trace their ordination to the Apostles.
Their second essential priestly power, to forgive
sins, was conferred by Christ on Easter Sunday,
when he told the Apostles, "For those whose sins
you forgive, they are forgiven; for those whose
sins you retain, they are retained" (John 20-22,23).
All the Christian faithful, however, also share in
the priesthood by their baptismal character. They
are enabled to offer themselves in sacrifice with
Christ through the Eucharistic liturgy. They offer
the Mass in the sense that they internally unite
themselves with the outward offering made by
the ordained priest alone.
Trent: CHAPTER I.
On the institution of the Priesthood of the New Law.
Sacrifice and priesthood are, by the ordinance of God, in such wise conjoined, as that both have existed in every law. Whereas, therefore, in the New Testament, the Catholic Church has received, from the institution of Christ, the holy visible sacrifice of the Eucharist; it must needs also be confessed, that there is, in that Church, a new, visible, and external priesthood, into which the old has been translated. And the sacred Scriptures show, and the tradition of the Catholic Church has always taught, that this priesthood was instituted by the same Lord our Saviour, and that to the apostles, and their successors in the priesthood, was the power delivered of consecrating, offering, and administering His Body and Blood, as also of forgiving and of retaining sins.
All of these entries above represent continuity whereas the teaching of Vatican Two teaches the priest is a minister of the word primarily (just like protestants)
Vatican Two: DECREE ON THE MINISTRY AND LIFE OF PRIESTS
PRESBYTERORUM ORDINIS
PROMULGATED BY HIS HOLINESS,
POPE PAUL VI
ON DECEMBER 7, 1965
The Ministry of Priests
SECTION I
Priests' Functions
4. The People of God are joined together primarily by the word of the living God.(1) And rightfully they expect this from their priests.(2) Since no one can be saved who does not first believe,(3) priests, as co-workers with their bishops, have the primary duty of proclaiming the Gospel of God to all.(4) In this way they fulfill the command of the Lord: "Going therefore into the whole world preach the Gospel to every creature" (Mk 16:15),(5) and they establish and build up the People of God. Through the saving word the spark of faith is lit in the hearts of unbelievers, and fed in the hearts of the faithful. This is the way that the congregation of faithful is started and grows, just as the Apostle describes: "Faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ" (Rom 10:17).
To all men, therefore, priests are debtors that the truth of the Gospel(6) which they have may be given to others. And so, whether by entering into profitable dialogue they bring people to the worship of God,(7) whether by openly preaching they proclaim the mystery of Christ, or whether in the light of Christ they treat contemporary problems, they are relying not on their own wisdom for it is the word of Christ they teach, and it is to conversion and holiness that they exhort all men.(8) But priestly preaching is often very difficult in the circumstances of the modern world. In order that it might more effectively move men's minds, the word of God ought not to be explained in a general and abstract way, but rather by applying the lasting truth of the Gospel to the particular circumstances of life.
The ministry of the word is carried out in many ways, according to the various needs of those who hear and the special gifts of those who preach. In areas or communities of non-Christians, the proclaiming of the Gospel draws men to faith and to the sacraments of salvation.(9) In the Christian community, especially among those who seem to understand and believe little of what they practice, the preaching of the word is needed for the very ministering of the sacraments. They are precisely sacraments of faith, a faith which is born of and nourished by the word.(10) This is especially true of the Liturgy of the Word in the celebration of Mass, in which the proclaiming of the death and resurrection of Christ is inseparably joined to the response of the people who hear, and to the very offering whereby Christ ratified the New Testament in his blood. In this offering the faithful are united both by their dispositions and by their discernment of the sacrament.(11)
Following Vatican Two our local Palm Beach County Seminary produces protestants
Mission Statement
St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary shares in the mission of Jesus Christ “to bring the good news to the poor” (Luke 4:18) in the training of future leaders.
The seminary’s primary mission is to foster the human, spiritual, intellectual, and pastoral formation of candidates for the Roman Catholic priesthood so that as ordained ministers they share the joy of the Gospel with all.

The secondary mission of St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary is to provide graduate theological education for permanent deacon candidates, clergy, religious, and laity as well as to offer ongoing clergy formation programs so that the evangelizing mission of the Church may continue and broaden its reach.
Why do so few Priests love The Real Mass?
They have been taught that preaching is more important than sacrifice and the vast majority (prolly over 95% of those who have received Holy Orders) have no idea - NONE - of the four sacrifices on the Real Mass
