[Dr. Eckleburg]

I don't know of any Catholic dogma that teaches priests are "another Christ".

Tell that to Father Baker...

THE AMAZING GIFT OF THE PRIESTHOOD

"Simply stated, the Catholic priest is another Christ. Through his ordination he has been granted the amazing gift of being a channel of divine grace for the eternal salvation of those he come into contact with—both in his official ministry and in his personal life..."

And please don't tell us we don't understand what the definition of "is" is.

"It" is blasphemy, plain and simple.

Thanks for sharing that. I (obviously) never knew that. It seems to me that the concept of alter Christus is intimately linked with the concept of in persona Christi, and thus not blasphemous as mere "representatives" aren't necessarily blasphemous.

Anyway, thanks again for teaching me something about my faith!
