Well, he never said that, and it’s certainly not what The Church teaches,

Yes it is moon ...the "priest" is another christ according to your church doctrine

"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 celebration of the Mass, he serves in persona Christi, that is, in the very person of Christ, who is truly present.

Mom, “In Persona Christi” means he is acting in Christ’s stead, as his representative, not that he thinks he is Christ, or a Christ.

We had a lovely walk today, with our dog, Rider, and said our Rosary. I asked God to un-harden your heart against his Holy Church.

Peace be with you.
