No, it is a continuation of the office of presbyter.
C'mon, your religion admits it is...The robes of the priests and the gold and jewels on the pope and others...
The priesthood can not be a continuation because the priesthood of the bible is dead and gone...There's no need for it...
You are confusing the two meanings of priesthood. I am arguing for the continuation of the priesthood as the continuation of the presbyterate. To try to state that I am arguing for the continuation of the Temple priesthood is dishonest.
