  Every church has certain criteria that needs to be met by someone seeking to represent that church as an ordained cleric. To abide by its own criteria, the CC re-ordains convert clerics of the Reform churches. This need for criteria, legitimacy is true in any profession, too. As a lawyer, my dad had to pass the bar before he could practice law in Washington. The legal system required it;  he had to meet the criteria of that system in order to practice law legitimately, legally, validly, as it were. The medical profession likewise has standards, criteria -- some acknowledged basis for comparing or measuring one's knowledge and ability to practice medicine. Re-ordination is not necessarily a proof as it is a validation on the part of a sponsoring church that the candidate seeking admission to the priesthood has met the criteria of the sponsoring church and can be validly ordained.
