I had thought it impressive when I found the previously reported "- the emperor Marcus Aurelius is not the bishop Aurelius; And remember that he was born in 121 AD and died 180 AD NOT born in 180 BC and died 121 BC. But this blooper at least matches if not surpasses it:

Mass is composed of two parts:

  1. Liturgy of the Word (scripture and homily)
  2. Liturgy of the Eucharist (the Lord's Supper)

Yes other titles are used for the Eucharist but none of them is "Mass":

[quote]Other titles are used, such as "Lord's Supper" (Coena Domini), "Table of the Lord" (Mensa Domini), the "Lord's Body" (Corpus Domini), and the "Holy of Holies" (Sanctissimum), to which may be added the following expressions, and somewhat altered from their primitive meaning: "Agape" (Love-Feast), "Eulogia" (Blessing), "Breaking of Bread", "Synaxis" (Assembly), etc.; but the ancient title "Eucharistia" appearing in writers as early as Ignatius, Justin, and Irenæus, has taken precedence in the technical terminology of the Church and her theologians. 

Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."
