Regarding alter Christus, here it is being distorted into the accusation that we believe priests are literally Christs, each of them fresh messiahs.

As part of The Game, as you may well recall, we are not entitled to say what we believe, we are to be told what we believe (true or not) and condemned for it.

The good Dr. E., secure in her own intellectual stasis, has certainly pulled certain Catholic phrases into her theological web and attempted to redefine them according to her own particular inclinations and then attempts to post variously using those definitions.

Her particular cult, incorporated about 70 years ago from the ashes and the implosion of several other cults, incorporates the WCF as a main doctrine of belief (a government document commissioned, bought and paid for by the Parliament of England) which calls the Pope the AntiChrist. I find no evidence from her posts that she believes any differently. I have not asked her specifically whether she considers BXVI the current AntiChrist, but perhaps she may wish to express her opinion.

THE AMAZING GIFT OF THE PRIESTHOOD
by Father Baker

"...Simply stated, the Catholic priest is another Christ. Through his ordination he has been granted the amazing gift of being a channel of divine grace for the eternal salvation of those he come into contact with—both in his official ministry and in his personal life."

Blasphemy

1) It's not a game.

2) You are entitled to say whatever you want to say (which you do with every post you make)

3) No one tells you what you believe; we can all read what you and the RCC believe and teach

4) Condemnation is by God according to His word...

"For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned." -- Matthew 12:37
