The concept of the CC office of “priest” is nothing more than an attempt to replace Christ on earth and dwelling in us.
>>Your interpretation. There is one royal priesthood, but not all are equal within that “royal priesthood.”
St. Peter’s “royal priesthood” parallels Exodus 19:6:
“And ye shall be unto me a kingdom of priests, and an holy nation. These are the words which thou shalt speak unto the children of Israel.”
All believers are called a “royal priesthood” with Christ as our High Priest. When the veil was torn at Christ’s death all believers obtained access to the Throne of God no longer needing a priest as they did before.
>>The Catholic/Orthodox priesthood is not a priesthood in the same sense as the Levitical priesthood, and every Mass/Divine Liturgy is a participation in the one sacrifice on Calvary.
Every time the priest offers the oblation, it is Christ acting through the priest, not the other way around.

But the Nominalist philosophy that undergirds the Protestant interpretation of scripture obfuscates this truth, which was obvious to most Early Christian writers.
And so they shall be during the millennium and after.

We don’t “participate in the one sacrifice”. We benefit from it. He made that sacrifice once for all not to be needed or repeated ever again.
As for going to the propaganda sites you use I’ll simply decline the invitation. Any organization that adheres to the Mariology nonsense has told me enough of their error to not be interested in further false teachings.
Ah, yes, when you can't present a convincing counterargument, start accusing your opponent of lacking the correct "philosophy" and intellect to properly "interpret" Scripture. Honey, the obfuscation is ALL yours!
