"what I said was that Christ is present in the priest performing sacraments. What is meant by that is not a physical presence, or a "real presence," but the recognition that spiritually, Christ is the one acting through the actions of the priest."

So, in your definition, Adolf Hitler could have been ordained a priest, murdered millions of people and still have the presence of Christ in him, without having repented unto genuine saving faith.

Listen, my friend, I never said that priests carry about with them forever "the Presence of Christ in him."

So stop putting words in my mouth.

Stop seperating entering the priesthood from "repenting unto genuine saved faith." Priests are living testaments to the faith.

Stop acting like priests do nto repent of their sins after they commit them.

And stop acting like a "priest" who murdered people woudl continue in his duties for long.

I am tired of you and your unwillingness to learn or to even answer simple questions, or to grasp concepts that Catholic children can grasp.

You must have a block to prevent you fom understanding a sacramental priedthood. I won't hold it against you.
