On the mark, Monica!  One fact most Catholics don't realize is that an ordained Catholic priest has no  power given to him personally to say Mass.  The  priest have no transubstantiation power.  In reality, the bishop is giving the newly ordained priest the power to administer the sacraments.  There is a very good solution to the present mess we are in written by a retired bishop in South Africa  .  It is called "The Lobinger Model."  If you are curious, google it.
