If God used mankind to bring Christ to the world through the Incarnation, when Mary, conceived of the Holy Spirit, bore Christ, is it not even more possible (and, perhaps, requiring even less faith to believe) that God would use mankind to bring Christ to others through the Church, when men become priests infused with the Holy Spirit?
The non-Catholic Christian believes that one of the basic tenets of Christianity is that God became man. The impossible became possible, yet the non-Catholic Christian holds fast to this belief because it is central to Christianity. Why, then, is it so outrageous to believe that God continues to bring Christ to others through the Church and the priesthood - something that, if we were to measure the amount of faith required, is "easier" to believe than the Incarnation?
Great post Mark! Makes total sense to me!
