"the Heavy Yoke"

You seem to have forgotten about the Priesthood of all believers.

You seem to have forgotten about the Priesthood of all believers.

The Priesthood of all believers does not entitle those who receive it to be ministers of the Sacraments. The power to forgive sins was unique to the Apostles, and those to whom they imparted that authority. The Apostles ordained certain men to administer the Sacraments called bishops (overseers) and presbyters (transliteration: priests, translation: elders). The Apostles and the bishops and priests who replaced them acted "in persona Christi"-- in the person of Christ -- in performing the Holy Sacrifice, forgiving sins, anointing the sick, and administering the other Sacraments, just as their successors, the bishops and priests of today, do.

The "priesthood of all believers" (Catholics also call it the priesthood of the faithful) enables us to share in the high priesthood of Christ and is received at baptism. Essential to this priesthood is the right to receive the other Sacraments, of participating in the Church's liturgy, and of being united with Christ, the eternal high priest, as he offers himself, with the members of His Mystical Body, the Church, to the heavenly Father in the Eucharistic Sacrifice.

Paz y bien, Katholikos

[Spiritual_Arsonist]

Our blessed Lord said "My YOKE is easy, and my BURDEN is light."

He did not say we had NO yoke.

Protestants are quick to throw it off.

Bseides, it does not matter how you live your life according to them.
