Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerThe priest doesn't just represent Our Blessed Lord, he is "another Christ", he presents Our Blessed Lord to whomever he is dealing with. In the sacraments, he doesn't say "may God absolve you" he says "I absolve you"; he doesn't say "this is Christ's Body" he says "This is MY Body". When he is functioning as a priest, he IS Christ.
