    Even though Jesus is the highest priest, that does not mean that the rest of the priests do not add anything.

      I'm not sure what a priest could do to help me communicate better with God since: “There is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Jesus Christ.” So... “If Jesus is our one mediator and I believe He is, then Christ alone mediates grace. In saying anyone else can, Catholics are usurping and thereby denying Christ’s singular role as mediator.

        Jesus is indeed the mediator between humanity and God. However, priests are there to interact more directly with Jesus.

      I'm not a Catholic, but Catholics believe that the blessings of Christ may be imparted through priests. As far as I know, they believe that it is integral to the way God works, to use people as one of his main means of imparting his blessings to other people. For example, when people pray for each other, or help others who are in need, or achieve breakthroughs in fields of knowledge and technology that benefit humanity.

      There are of course many kinds of Catholics - just as there are many kinds of protestants. Including protestants who have an innate mistrust of Catholicism for historico-political reasons that have been passed down generations of believers and surfaced in various ways.
