Among true worshipers of God, before the Christian congregation, priests officially represented God to the people they served, instructing them about God and his laws. In turn, they represented the people before God, offering sacrifices as well as interceding and pleading for the people. Hebrews 5:1
No, the priest is not God.
The mercy seat is a cover on top of the Ark of the Covenant, symbolizing God's presence and forgiveness. It is where the high priest would communicate with God and seek forgiveness for the sins of the Israelites.
The priest is the Representative of God on Earth And he relays the message of god to anyone who is willing to listen
Certainly, Catholics are required to intercede directly with God. The priest is there as God's chosen emissary. Normally, when God is speaking directly with a person, He is speaking through some means: the Bible, the priest, the Mass, etc.
