Eliminate priests.
Have the Pope tell the whole globe
that all Christians are
servants of Jesus,
and that the whole notion of
some Christians being
on Heaven's fast-track
was dubious from the start.
Problem goes away...
The word "priest" comes from the Greek "presbyter," meaning "elder". The office of elder is mentioned in the NT, and has existed in the Church from the earliest times. The Pope can no more "eliminate priests" than he can eliminate Jesus.
The idea that priests are "on Heaven's fast-track" is not Catholic teaching. Scripture says that teachers are judged more severely. Does that sound like being "on Heaven's fast-track" to you?
