  EFC, You need to educate yourself on this business of "in persona Christi." Now, instead of relying on the Vulgate, the NAB/NABRE Bible on the Vatican and US Bishops' websites has a different translation for 2 Co 2:10 -- "in the presence of Christ" -- not "in the person of." I was not able to find any mention of "in the person of" in the Baltimore Catechism, so I will guess the recent supposedly 'traditional' emphasis on 'in persona' is ironically mostly from Vatican II documents which have it. Just a fad that happens to result in clericalism and discrimination against women. Particularly with "in persona Christi Capitis" -- (Christ the Head who is Jesus, a male). As members of the Christ, women image it. The Eucharist is a remembrance, not a reenactment.  See #1548 in the Catechism for history of Aquinas and 'in persona.' The foundation for a Vatican house of cards.
