Remembering our conversation, here is a very clear catechism on the nature of Catholic Priesthood.

I find nothing exegetically available in the passage cited which would accommodate the sacerdotal structure the Roman Catholic Church (or Catholic Church) has developed. There exists in your organization the habit of taking statements such as this and extending them beyond their ordinary interpretations. Once done, it is simple to prove anything you wish.

That a certain or special group of men would lay claim to such “consecration”, intimating it was not intended to be the general inheritence of all believers, belies an underlying arrogance. Sorry, I am even more convinced that the priesthood is a fabrication of needy men. Nowhere following the resurrection are Priests noted as a part of the free and open Gospel of Christ. It is only when we enslave ourselves to your self-proving arguments that we find support for the trappings of Roman Catholicism. The Bible is refreshingly sending us to Christ, alone.
