Wow! Great catch. Not really. The technical name for the college of priests is the presbyterate. (Just like the college of bishops is the episcopate and the college of deacons is the diaconate). 'Tis only a scandal to those who wish to find scandal wherever they can.
BTW, I hope that your eye is doing better.

The technical name for the college of priests is the presbyterate.Then why in God's name do they insist on calling them "priests" and not "presbyters"???
