*once* doesn’t necessitate the perpetuation of the priesthood.
Metmom...I didn’t realize the catholic church sees their priests as actually “Christ” himself...or even an actual representation of Him via their ‘bloodless offering” of themselves and “becoming Christ” in their worship service...as some have stated. (Although I do realize they see the Pope as His represntative....which He isn’t of course.)
Does the average catholic understand what this practice mimics and the affront to Christ it is? or do they just sit thru it all go thru the motions because thats what catholics do.
