Roman Catholic apologists say whatever the discussion seems to warrant, whether it's true or not. It's a very schizophrenic, imprecise religion that actually teaches priests become an "alter Christus" - "another Christ."

Yea, and whenever a priest walks through out doorway all us Catholics yell out "Jesus is here!" and immediately bow down and begin to worship him. LOL.

C'mon Eckleburg, you call the Catholic faith "imprecise" only because you cannot find anything in the Catechism or the thousands upon thousands of Catholic writings which were created over the course of centuries saying specifically that priests are Jesus Christ.

Otherwise, let me tell you a bit about my day. Today my boss was not in work, so, to the best of my ability and according to his instruction, I took his place. I dealt with clients, gave advice, made sure his business was taken care of as best I could. His subordinates followed my commands because my boss told them to do so. I made sure that what he left behind to be done was carried out, and I followed his explicit instructions to the best of my ability.

So tell me, are my boss and I the same?

lol. You've been given plenty of examples from Roman Catholic doctrine and Roman Catholic priests which teach that the RC priestcraft is an "alter Christus" - "another Christ."

Perhaps what you haven't been given are eyes to see and ears to hear.

The RCC also teaches that only priests can offer the Lord's Supper. Why is that?

Because supposedly only the priest has the magic mojo to turn the bread and wine into Christ. And why is that? Because the priest, in his capacity as an "alter Christus," is offering himself to the congregation.

Sick.
