Jesus indeed "ordain" the Holy Apostles and they themselves "ordain" bishops, priests,
It is useful to remember that not every book written about the Church provides reliable information,
So you expect EWTN is going to be an objective source as to what is reliable information? The fact remains that the Lord nor the apostles never ordained a single priest, as presbuteros/episkopos were never given that distinctive title, nor are they shown having a unique sacrificial function.
Nor were presbuteros (senior/elder) and episkopos (superintendent/overseer) separate classes, as they terms denote the same office, the former the maturity of the pastor, and the second his function.
That is what is called "reliable information."
As for Greg Dues from other sources, for what they are worth, Catholic family catalog says: A fascinating volume for both pre- and post-Vatican II catholics, and makes an ideal resource for people involved in RCIA. This book encourages respect for and enjoyment of the varied traditions which give flesh to the Roman Catholic Church., soft, pp 214.

And Amazon shows 4 stars in reviews.
For me, EWTN vs. Amazon, sorry, Catholic theologians and verbatim Church documents win out over anonymous raters.
I'm a Catholic of the Roman Rite; to us, they're priests.
