If a priest cannot represent the Catholic position, then neither can any of you, and I have to go iron a shirt.

lol.

A Roman Catholic priest represents the Roman Catholic position until it doesn't suit their argument and then he won't. Until he does.

What is this priest's name and his position in the Church?

A Catholic Priest represents the Catholic position only as long has he represents the Catholic position. When he deviates he is on his own.

Unlike your dire church of condemnation a Catholic priest does not have the power to point a crooked finger and declare, a priori, salvation or position of the Church. His role is to communicate and teach the positions of the Church and to serve his flock. Sometimes they get it wrong, but when doing so they do not speak for the entire Church or alter the Catechism of the Church in the process (like Calvin and Luther did).
