Tat statement is meaningless in Catholic terms. The priest is not an “officer of the Church,” but “another Christ:. The hands that distribute the host come from a successful of living hands back to the hands of Christ himself. It is Christ himself who feeds us if we faithfully receive him.
That is over simplified and will lead to error by both Catholics and non-Catholics.
"As an alter Christus, the priest is profoundly united to the Word of the Father who, in becoming incarnate took the form of a servant, he became a servant (Phil 2: 5-11). The priest is a servant of Christ, in the sense that his existence, configured to Christ ontologically, acquires an essentially relational character: he is in Christ, for Christ and with Christ, at the service of humankind. Because he belongs to Christ, the priest is radically at the service of all people: he is the minister of their salvation, their happiness and their authentic liberation, developing, in this gradual assumption of Christ's will, in prayer, in "being heart to heart" with him. Therefore this is the indispensable condition for every proclamation, which entails participation in the sacramental offering of the Eucharist and docile obedience to the Church." - Pope Benedict XVI 24 June 2009
During the administration of the Sacraments the priest acts "in persona Christi" (in the person of Christ). Note that in neither of these cases in the priest an alter Jesu.
