How does ordination confer priestly powers to Catholic priests?
Upvote:2
For things that are simply a matter of permission, the priest gets his authority from the church. The bishop who performs the ordination confers the authority in the name ofcthe church.
For more spiritual activities, like the ability to perform mass, the power comes from God, mediated through the church.
