err.. no one rejected that we are all a royal priesthood. And just as the priestly nation of Israel had ministerial priests, so too does Christ's Church
Luther and the Lutherans are correct to retain this.

The individual priesthood of the believer (which Luther stressed) is rejected by the RCC, that is why they hold that the individual cannot understand scripture in his own language.
The context was in translations of the Bible into the vernacular.
