To: Frank Sheed
Here was my biggest problem with the Catholic notion of a ministerial priesthood. The ordained ministers of the New Covenant are called apostles (cf. Eph. 4:11), elders (Jas. 5:14), bishops (1 Tim. 3:1), and deacons (1 Tim. 3:8ff). They are not referred to directly with the typical Greek word for "priest," which is hiereus.

One of many problems. The answers simply don't satisfy. But why is it that if the bible uses a certain term the RC's always have a better and different term?
