Christ breathed on the apostles and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit, whose sins you forgive they are forgiven them, whose sins you retain are retained."

From the apostles, that gift of the Holy Spirit is passed down to Bishops and then to the priests.

That gift of the Holy Spirit is given to ALL people who accept Jesus Christ as their Savior and are thus, called Christians...

Oh, so the common masses don’t receive it unless it’s through all those bishops and priests? Whoda thought?
