I know Hebrews quite well, you should as well. Here is what Hebrews 10 says:

10 By the which will we are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. 11 And every priest standeth daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins: 12 But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 From henceforth expecting till his enemies be made his footstool. 14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified.

Of course Christ is our High Priest. His single sacrifice has taken away our sins for all time. This is stated many times in the Bible. For Catholic "priests" to pretend to offer "sacrifices" every mass is in insult to the "final" saving work Christ performed.

So you are admitting that your earlier claim "There are no New Testament priests." was wrong.

His single sacrifice has taken away our sins for all time.

Christ died for our sins. Sin still exists and sins are still committed by us mere mortals. We will be forgiven our sins provided we follow the teachings of Christ.

For Catholic "priests" to pretend to offer "sacrifices" every mass is in insult to the "final" saving work Christ performed.

Your ignorance of Catholicism and Scripture is overwhelming. Catholic priests don't pretend to do any such thing. Catholic priests make present on the altar the very same sacrifice that occurred on Calvary as Christ instructed the Apostles to do at the Last Supper, explained in the Gospels and as Paul explains in 1 Corinthians. Next you'll probably accuse Catholics of being cannibals.
