Worse than thinking themselves to be a priest is their believing themselves to be "another Christ."
"The Catholic faith teaches that the priest is another Christ, an alter Christus...
Sadly, the RCC Bible must not contain Hebrews or Matthew 24:5...
"For many shall come in my name, saying 'I am Christ', and shall deceive many."
Wow - that link to the RCC teaching about their “priesthood” is sad.
Interesting that you quote that verse Matt 24:5, I have bought and given away many copies of this book http://www.lighthousetrails.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=LTP&Product_Code=FMSC&Category_Code=NA
