The Priesthood

"The same Lord, however, has established ministers among his faithful to unite them together in one body […] These ministers in the society of the faithful are able by the sacred power of orders to offer sacrifice and to forgive sins, and they perform their priestly office publicly for men in the name of Christ. Therefore, having sent the apostles just as he himself been sent by the Father, Christ, through the apostles themselves, made their successors, the bishops, sharers in his consecration and mission" (Presbyterorum Ordinis, 2).
