"The priest is, indeed, another Christ, or in some way, he is himself a continuation of Christ." (Pope Pius XI, Encylical on the Priesthood)

[The priest] offers his humanity to Christ, so that Christ may use him as an instrument of salvation, making him as it were into another Christ. Pope John Paul II

"Words mean things"

So tell it to me in the language that this it was spoken by JPII and I'll let you know how accurate your translation is. English is a very poor language for expressing abstract and theological concepts. It is even poorer when the users have a limited vocabulary.

Words mean things.

Amen. And those words reveal the lie at the heart of Rome -- that some classes of men are more than men; they are "another Christ," capable of alchemy and magic.

"Take heed that no man deceive you.

For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many." -- Matthew 24:4-5
