Number one, no man has a right to be ordained to the Priesthood: "You have not chosen Me: but I have chosen you; and have appointed you, that you should go, and should bring forth fruit; and your fruit should remain: that whatsoever you shall ask of the Father in My name, He may give it you." John 15:16

First of all, that verse is regarding divine election/irresistible grace (which the RCC doesn't believe in) not priesthood. Also, the Bible makes it clear that all Christans are priests. All are saints. "You too are living stones, built as an edifice of spirit, into a holy priesthood, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ" (I Peter 2:5) "You, however, are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people he claims for his own to proclaim the glorious works of the One who called you from darkness into his marvelous light" (I Peter 2:9) We are able to ALL serve as priests under Christ (the High Priest in the order of Melchizedek). Because of His sacrifice we no longer need a mediator. We need no "ordained" man to forgive our sins as they have already been forgiven.
