You are entirely clueless into the role of the Priest in the Church. To think a Priest "turns into" Christ is absurdity... the only people who think that are those that need to hate God's Church. This is the same ignorance that thinks those who worship God in his Church confuse God the Father in Heaven, with the human Priest on the Altar..

Well here's your chance then to educate us on what is the role of the Catholic Priest at confession and the Mass...

Well, as far as Mass goes- you can easily see for yourself how the Priest Celebrates Mass - 1 hour at a TLM Mass would be my easiest suggestion... if - there is truly an interest there..
Though as you already know, the role is the Priest - and reconciliation- is rooted in the Ordination and commisioning of the Apostles… its not any more difficult than that…… but that will have to be a discussion for 50 days from now… not during the Triduum….

John 20
Jesus said to them again,+++ “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”+++

James
Is any one among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is any one among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church . . . and the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed.

St. Paul continued with the Pastoral theme...
Two Corinthians….
18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.

9 Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive— I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.

There is much more...but not today...
Peace.
