I respond only because you specifically both pinged and referenced me.

I am in the habit of ignoring your posts, on the grounds that I find them to be either distorted, edited for shock value, or simply wrong; worse that any interpretation you include in your posts evidences, IMO, an apparently willful refusal to understand the subject matter.

Just so you know.

And the excerpt you posted in no way contradicts anything I posted.

Good Bye.

I don't "edit for shock value" and I always link any excerpt to the original essay.

Nor do I "willfully refuse to understand the subject matter." The "subject matter" could be understood by any third grader. The errors of the RCC are clear and easily refuted in Scripture. As God wills.

And the excerpt you posted in no way contradicts anything I posted.

You posted in #38...

"Yes, we believe that Holy Orders leaves an "indelible mark" on their soul ... but it doesn't make them anything other than human.

This appears to be another case where the laity does not understand its own catechism.

I'll refer you to post #46 which includes a link to the original article found in an RCC publication, written by an RCC priest.

POST #46

"the proper task of the priest consists in being a mediator between God and men ...

The Catholic faith teaches that the priest is another Christ, an alter Christus...

Orders produce an ontological or real change in the one ordained.

Simply stated, the Catholic priest is another Christ...

The priest is an alter Christus, another Christ...

"What is the identity of the priest? It is the identity of Christ himself."

This clearly contradicts your assertion in post #38 that RC priests are nothing "other than human."

"I am in the habit of ignoring your posts, on the grounds that I find them to be either distorted, edited for shock value, or simply wrong; worse that any interpretation you include in your posts evidences, IMO, an apparently willful refusal to understand the subject matter."

Maybe you should try ignoring your own posts. It seems that the magisterium does.
