[Petronski]

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.

The arrogance you mention would be Christ's arrogance, since the consecration is His doing.

Nowhere following the resurrection are Priests noted as a part of the free and open Gospel of Christ.

The real self-proving argument at work here is sola scriptura, which is inconveniently not found in the Bible.

Once again, Pete, you cannot follow the argument. Of course Christ does the consecration. The writer took the position that Priest’s consecrated themselves as a support for the Priesthood. I agree with you that Christ, alone, is the answer to all believers’ needs, not some organization cooked up by a bunch of bad exegetes. You’re not a part of that Vatican-driven group, are you?
