In the Catholic Mass, the "priest" is necessary to confect the Sacrament. He also speaks the prayer of the offering, on behalf of the community. All of the believers present offer the consecrated gifts to God, the Body and Blood of His Son.

Does any of this contradict Sacred Scripture?

Well, you are telling me more Catholic details but in doing so you are drifting farther and farther from the scriptures. Can you show me anything about confecting and Sacrament from the bible. We still haven't seen any scripture defining the position of "Christian Priest" let along that a "Christian Priest must be celebate unlike the Jewish Priests". Now you have thrown more ritual and rite but not even addressed scripturally the first things I asked about. So it almost seems that you are defaulting to "There is no scripture establishing a Christian Priesthood as it exists in the Catholic church but can you find a place in the scriptures that says we shouldn't"
