We also see great weaknesses among the other “first priests.”

There were no "priests" in the NT church...

Christ breathed on the apostles, thus making them Bishops. For your information, a Bishop is a priest.

The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you.
As the Father has sent me, so I send you.”
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them,
“Receive the Holy Spirit.
Whose sins you forgive are forgiven them,
and whose sins you retain are retained.”

From the Gospel reading (John 20:20-23).
