I also have problems with the thought that, because one becomes a Catholic Priest, one is automatically endowed with the ability to perform (or perhaps facilitate is a better word) miracles that have not been readily accomplished since the apostles were dispatched.I do not understand the portion of your statement shown in bold, since the line of Catholic priests have been doing this since the time of the apostles.

since the line of Catholic priests have been doing this since the time of the apostles. There have also been many miracles worked through non-clergy. Are you suggesting, trebb, that there have been no miraculous works since the time of the Apostles, or have I misunderstood?

What interpretation actually gives the Catholic Priests the ability to perform these miracles at will? Even Christ was quick to say that of Himself he was nothing as it was the Father that doeth the works...

That is fundamentalism for you——they fail to see anything not spoken of in the Bible as “real”. Thus, they ignore any miracles since approx 90-100 AD.
