I can really agree with you on this.  Exalting the Priesthood conferred by ordination and barely giving a tip of the ecclesiastical hat to the Priesthood conferred by Baptism has been a large factor in creating this situation. The ontological change that is made so much of by the ordained is, in reality, a subset of the FUNDAMENTAL ontological change of Baptism. The leadership of the church deserves a D- in pastoral practice and practical theology.
