The Roman ideas on priesthood are erroneous, but the Congregationalist idea that there snould be no eldership is equally so, and us Prods tend towards that.

One of the peculiar problems of the liturgical churches who have priests is that they conflate their duty to teach and proclaim the gospel with being some kind of intermediary. That is not the case. There is one high priest, who is Christ, and he suffices.

But this leads to the liberals among them trying to make confession some form of therapy. It is not. It cannot be so. For there is no negoptiation with truth.

I will add that I have little time for the Oxford Movement. My sympathy is for the Low Church or Evangelical Anglicans: did a lot of good, and still do, would if the Archbishops in the West had not gone full heretic.

One of the most serious Roman Catholic errors (and there are plenty) is that they put a man, the priest as a representative of the church, between God and the believer. This has allowed the most appalling behaviour as the man has the intimate knowledge of the confessor and can, and does, take advantage of it.

Anglican have their Oxford Movement that seeks to reunite with the RC’s. I have a wee book (an oldie but a goodie) on the distinctions between RC’s and protestants. It has been illuminating as it reveals the significance of slight changes in terms like priest and minister, altar and table.
