[Mark17]

When I was a catholic, I was told by the priests and nuns, that the mass was the unbloody sacrifice of the cross. We were told we were under the priests, who were in turn, under the pope. A chain of command, if you will. I understand that some others may have been told slightly different variations of this, but is that close to what you were told when you were catholics?

Throw in the bishops and you have it about right.
