Jesus Christ - the great High Priest (Heb 4:14) and High Priest forever (Heb 6:20) - "was a layman," Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, 81, former president of the Pontifical Council for Culture, said on 24 April during a round table discussion at the Lateran University in Rome, VaticanNews.va reported.
Ravasi made his embarrassing statement while discussing his distinction between "secular" and "secularist" and his rejection of a "theocratic state model".
The Catechism of the Catholic Church states in §436: "It was necessary for the Messiah to be anointed by the Spirit of the Lord at the same time as King and Priest, and also as Prophet".
In §1551 it explains that the ministerial priesthood "depends entirely on Christ and his unique priesthood" and that "the sacrament of Holy Orders imparts a 'holy power' which is none other than that of Christ".

There are more of his ilk who simply don't believe in God.
Jesus Christ is first and foremost God the Son. There is only ONE Person in Our Lord Jesus Christ and that Person is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity. He is by no means a creature of any kind. Yes, he united to His Divine Person a humanity, a human nature, body and soul. However, there is only one Personal subject in Our Lord and that Personal subject is and always has been and always will …More
Jesus Christ is first and foremost God the Son. There is only ONE Person in Our Lord Jesus Christ and that Person is the Second Person of the Blessed Trinity.

However, there is only one Personal subject in Our Lord and that Personal subject is and always has been and always will be God the Son. He is the Great High priest, King, Prophet, and Lamb of God, offered for our sins. To call Him a "layman" shows the degree to which apostasy from the Catholic and Apostolic Faith has taken over the Vatican. So many prelates seem to be Arian, or semi-Arian -- all under the influence of Karl Rahner, SJ, and his faulty Christology. St. Athanasius and St. Cyril of Alexandria, pray for us!

He is the same one who, together with Cardinal Mauro Gambetti, transformed St. Peter's Basilica into a debate and conference room. In the place where the Holy Mass should be celebrated, something else is done...

"...The Vatican Basilica has become, for some time now, a true open-air construction site. Activities of any kind are hosted inside. Single veto? The prayer. That one is banned. One of the latest ideas is called Lectio Petri... in front of the altar of the Chair it was decided to place a table where the illustrious guests could sit..."
