text: "The priest represents the Bridegroom Christ to his Bride the Church"
  "Represents"? So Jesus is not in the Church? Heresy. 
  If Jesus is intrinsic to church, then S/He is either sexually polymorphic, hermaphrodyte, transgender (and engaged in a sexual act - symbolic or otherwise that is anathema in thought let alone in deed)
  If not, there is no "Mystical Body", or is there? 
  Joseph Card.Ratzinger "taught" that the sexual description - as per Bride/Bridegroom, is "more than metaphor". So you call it "analogous"! You also deviate from authoritative teaching. 
  Any sensible person with a modicum of intelligence would eschew the muddle of mixed metaphors, intrinsically contradictory analogies let alone accuse anyone else of being devoid of any "meaningful" theological knowledge or perspective. 
  All these analogies (and metaphors) do not a faith support.  Who ever said that faith is built upon reason?
