What faith community do you belong to?
Non-Catholic, but Christian. I know you think I am looking to bash you as a Catholic, but I am not. I just pinged you because you had the post. If you don’t want to answer the question I can try another Catholic FReeper. That would be OK with me and no hard feelings. Or we can FReepmail to keep the answer private. I am not anti-Catholic at all. I like Catholics, but I am simply curious. I had thought that Apostolic Succession and the priesthood were two fundamental tenets of Catholicism.
If you will answer it then I’d like to know - Can any layperson perform the Seven Sacraments given the correct intent, matter and form?
Where I am going with this is that if anybody can do it, what value is the Catholic priesthood?
