I didn’t take your flippant response as much of a question.
Any other contemporaneous writings are simply the opinion of another man like me. I may accept or reject them without fear of my choice being a “sin”.
What 1268 means to me most of all is that I have the authority to go forth and bring people to the Catholic Church. Which I have done with at least three people that I know for sure (sorry if that makes someone sad).
BTW the webpage is about Baptism. If everyone were really made a priest don’t you think that would get its own webpage rather than a few sentences in Baptism? LoL!
What you mean is transubstantiation, which is what we do not hold to. Presbyterians and Lutherans believe in the "Real Presence," and that there is a real communion with Christ and His people in the sacrament. This is not memorialism.

How so?
LoL!Let's go on and on about Baptism but limit everyone made a priest to three sentences...
winner winner, chicken dinner.
Well, you get what you pay for. Make a flippant reply, get a flippant question in return.
It's not a violation of Canon Law to bless bread per se, of course. We bless bread (and mac-n-cheese, and greenbeans and burgers, etc.) every time we say a meal prayer.
Maybe she just does a little hocus-pocus with rice cakes and almond milk, or potato chips and lager. While intoning readings from The Velveteen Rabbit. For all we know, she didn't even convincingly "simulate" the Sacred Liturgy at all, except maybe on a kindergarten level.
There once a lady whose mania
Was litugical extemporanea.
She thinks she's a priest,
At the (humph) very least,
And I am the Queen of Romania.

OK!!!. To borrow from Captain from Cool hand Luke, “what we have here is a full blown Sedevacantist”
My initial response simply quoted your own answer to your own question and even courteously thanked you.
Btw, thank you once again - this time for admitting you are Trolling by being flippant.
No, I said “not necessarily” not “not”.
Don’t ever say “not” here. You’ll be more hated than the prots. ;-)
In the "Chaplet of Divine Mercy," the individual Catholic prays,"Eternal Father, I offer you the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, of your dearly beloved Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, in atonement for our sins..." This is another level of "concelebration," in that we are uniting ourselves to Christ to offer His Own Body and Blood to the Father, since we are one with Him, members of His Mystical Body.
This is all very Scriptural, since St. Paul says (Romans 12:2): offer your bodies as a living sacrifice holy and acceptable to God, your spiritual worship. As the Lord Jesus offered himself totally for our sake, we are called to lay down our lives for Him and for one another.
In fact during the Sunday Eucharist, as the bread and wine are carried up to the altar, we are called to consciously place ourselves and all sacrifices of the past week on the altar with the gifts to be united with Christs perfect sacrifice to the Father.
That's what we lay priests consecrate. We are like God's secret agents,in places where ordained ministerial priests may never go --- our homes, our workplaces, our schools, professions, places of amusement, families, police stations, farms, commercial enterprises, and on the road to and from: elevating, purifying, sanctifying, blessing every temporal thing.
I don't think you can call that "not much of anything."
What’s so bad about it?
I don’t know what “1268” is, and I did not refer to a web page. What this meant for somebody else?
I meant “Boogieman,” not “Noogieman.” Sorry for that most unfortunate typo!
tough noogies...man ... lol
