>>Moreover, the archbishop explained, every person in the Church “shares in Christ’s priesthood” and everyone who has been baptized “has a priestly soul.”

Is this standard Roman Catholic doctrine? I always thought that one of the big differences between RC and Protestant was that in Protestant Christianity, everyone is a priest (i.e. directly connected to God through Christ with no humans in between). (I’m not attacking Catholics here, so please don’t get defensive. I just want to learn.)
