Best Answer
Roman Catholic AnswerSeveral things, through the priest, in his role as an alter Christus, Our Blessed Lord is truly present, especially during the readings, and in the community itself. The climax of the Most Holy Mass, of course, is the Eucharist prayer (the Canon) in which Our Blessed Lord becomes truly present, Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity, in the Host at the consecration and then the priest and we receive Him (if we are in a state of grace) in Holy Communion.

Do Catholic priests have special powers?

Roman Catholic AnswerYes, by virtue of his ordination, a man becomes an "alter Christus" (i.e. another Christ). Though technically it is not the priest, himself, who has the special power, it is Christ working through him. This is why, during the Mass, the Priest says "This is my body" and through a miracle of God, the bread is entirely transformed into the Body of Christ. Notice the priest says "my body" not His body. Because the priest is "standing in" for Christ. Similarly, in the sacrament of reconciliation, the priest says, "I absolve you of your sins, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit." Which is ridiculous, no human being can absolve sins, but God can, and it is God who is working through the priest.
