The lesson of history is even more encouraging. The "duo sunt genera christianorum" is a historical development different from - and in its theology largely inconsistent with - the first 3 centuries CE, when Christianity was priestless (as distinct from leaderless). THREAD
Nowhere in the NT is a separate priestly class – that is one mediating between the divine and Christians/human beings in general – regarded as desirable – never mind necessary. 2/16
