text: I am a baptized Christian making use of my God-given faculties of reason and (I hope) the gifts of the Holy Spirit. Who are you to say that we must throw away our sense, reason, and perhaps even the gifts of the Holy Spirit and forfeit our duty as baptized Christians to keep the Church, and say that anyone who says he wants to be a priest has an authentic vocation and should be ordained?
  
  If a friend were to come to me and say that he thinks he has a priestly vocation because he feels he is called to be a "healer" and the sacraments could be used as instruments to that end (note that the sacraments are secondary), or that he is "more than capable of being a 'minister'" I'd recommend that he and I have dinner with a few priests and talk with them about how their sacerdotal ministry is different from that when they were laymen. 
  
  If the reason someone wants to be a priest is neither the Eucharist nor Confession his "vocation" is likely to the common priesthood of the baptized.
