LOL. Good one. 8~)
I seek to preach the Gospel and the truth of Christ risen, as all Christians are instructed to do.
I'd be interested in your take on the linked essay by the Roman Catholic priest in the Roman Catholic publication that identifies Roman Catholic priests as "another Christ."
Is that what you believe?
Is that what you believe?
I would hope so. It's what the Catholic Church teaches.
Right HERE in Her Catechism.
Here's the relevant paragraph:
#1142 "But "the members do not all have the same function."12 Certain members are called by God, in and through the Church, to a special service of the community. These servants are chosen and consecrated by the sacrament of Holy Orders, by which the Holy Spirit enables them to act in the person of Christ the head, for the service of all the members of the Church.13 The ordained minister is, as it were, an "icon" of Christ the priest. Since it is in the Eucharist that the sacrament of the Church is made fully visible, it is in his presiding at the Eucharist that the bishop's ministry is most evident, as well as, in communion with him, the ministry of priests and deacons.
Read it and learn.
