***And that as such, a man...

“becomes a priest through the power of Jesus Christ operating through the normal channels of his Church. Orders produce an ontological or real change in the one ordained. Once consecrated he is no longer a lay person and he is no longer exactly like non-priests. He has received a charism that consecrates him to continuing Christ’s prophetic and sacramental ministry.”***

It is all of, for, and by Christ. We are ‘made in the image of Christ’, and we must imitate Christ. Unlike the prancing, dancing, shouting, posing snake oil salesmen that posture across the stages and screens of the nation, it is of, for, and by Christ.

We are 'made in the image of Christ', and we must imitate Christ.

But we don't become Christ. The weight and shield of Christ's righteousness saves us, and not our own.

There is no "another Christ." Just like there is no "Co-Redeemer" nor Co-Redemptrix."

Solus Christus!
