Melchizedek is not a mortal priest

Indeed, as we read in Hebrews especially, the Priesthood of Christ is not levitical and therefore Catholic priesthood is likewise in the order of Melchizedek.

Melchizedek is not a mortal priest, then it is stated that the "Catholic priesthood is likewise in the order of Melchizedek."

Really, that would put them above Mary in importance, being immortal.

I don't think that is allowed.

Well, priests are subject to natural death (we are all immortal though), but they are on the mission from timeless, pre-existing Christ, Who is such priest.
