They don’t come from your angle of hatred against catholic priests. They want all to actually be catholic priests.

“They want all to actually be catholic priests.”

According to your catechism, they already are:

“1268 The baptized have become “living stones” to be “built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood.”74 By Baptism they share in the priesthood of Christ, in his prophetic and royal mission. They are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, that [they] may declare the wonderful deeds of him who called [them] out of darkness into his marvelous light.”75 Baptism gives a share in the common priesthood of all believers.”

Though, this seems a fairly meaningless concession, since the Catholic church doesn’t seem to think members of this priesthood are able to perform priestly duties.
