The search was really quite short - the narrative of the Last Supper and Hebrews.

The authorship of Hebrews is irrelevant and the notion that “it presents a christology that is a backwards look in time” is one of the argumentative bon mots that a certain school of publish-or-perish biblical “scholars” like to write articles describing.

The theme of Hebrews is Christ’s redemptive act as the High Priest of the New Covenant, and it is incorporated substantially into the Roman Canon.

Many Catholics, myself included, find terms like “Christianity's priesthood cult” offensive projecting, as it does, a contempt for the their beliefs and their Church.
