Propitiation

PROPITIATION

BASIC R.C. BELIEF The Council of Trent defined the Sacrifice of the Mass as a propitiatory Sacrifice for the sins of the dead and the living.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT By definition, that which gives satisfaction for wrong, atonement. The Atoning Work of Christ is our propitiation (Romans 3:25; I John 2:2; 4:10).
