Apologetics 101

The ministerial priesthood was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, which confers on a man the power of consecrating and offering the body and blood of Christ, and of remitting and retaining sins. We refer to priests as “Father” since they are our spiritual fathers and shepherds. In Acts 7:2 St. Stephen calls the Jewish leaders “fathers”. In several places in Scripture St. Paul refers to himself as a “father” (Acts 21:40, 22:; 1 Cor 4:14-15; 1 Thes 2:11; Philem 10). Five of the seven sacraments require a valid and active ministerial priesthood. Can you name them?
