Anything more ridiculous than a bunch of old 'Inquisitors' claiming to know the absolute truth and silencing discussions? Not much support for such abuse these days

'In persona Christi' is the basis for much of their clericalism. It comes from the Vulgate translation of 2 Corinthians 2:10 which has 'in the person of Christ,' now correctly translated in the NABRE Bible on the Vatican and USCCB websites as 'in the presence of Christ.' We are all supposed to follow Jesus and be members of the Christ, and the priest is not more a Christ-member than anyone else, despite 'in persona Christi Capitis,' an idea that blossomed fairly recently historically. 'In persona" is not mentioned in the Baltimore Catechism. But later supposedly progressive Vatican II documents are rife with this nonsense, which also serves to segregate genders, and promote shameful male chauvinism in both liturgy and administration. See #1548 in the Catechism for history of Aquinas and 'in persona.'
