A priest has received special blessings at his ordination (Sacrament of Holy Orders) as a representative of Christ to bless the water. I am assuming that your church believes this supernatural power is a product of your theory of apostolic succession. If your theory of apostolic succession was shown to be incorrect would you then question all the other supernatural powers your priests are supposed to have?
Isn't our church. It's the Church of Christ. Everything else is a 2D photocopy. Isn't a theory of apostolic succession. It's true and documented. Aren't our priests. They're God's.

Aren't our priests. They're God's.Where is the office of the "priest" found in the New Testament??? It's not there, just like holy water and purgatory are not there.
