	"Equal" does not mean "identical." Equality is a term of measurement, and all measurements require specification of units.

	All men and women, ordained or not, born or unborn, are of equal worth to God. God creates each person in their mother's womb. God, the Son, died for all [http://usccb.org/bible/rom/5:17 (Rom 5:18).] We all have an equal opportunity to love God in return, for love is measured not by our public roles but by the gift of self: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. ... Love your neighbor as yourself" [http://usccb.org/bible/matthew/22:36 (Mt 22:37-39).] We exercise our [[Priesthood of the Faithful\|common priesthood]] through self-sacrifice, imitating Jesus, our only High Priest, Who sacrificed Himself for love of us.

	The ''Catechism'' teaches that humans are "equal as persons ('bone of my bones...') and complementary as masculine and feminine" [http://www.scborromeo.org/ccc/p1s2c1p6.htm#372 (#372).] Just as a male and female play different roles in bringing a child into being, so the ordained and unordained play different roles in rendering Jesus present in the Eucharist. Father and mother are equally, but not identically, parents of the child. The ordained and unordained are equally, but not identically, recipients of the love of GOD made present in the Eucharist--we all receive Jesus. The ordained do NOT receive more of Jesus than the unordained. The laity lose nothing by being served by the ministerial priesthood; priests gain no advantage over the laity by being Jesus' sacramental instruments.

	This does not mean that priests are unimportant. Priests enrich the Church and build the Body of Christ. If we do not honor men for laying down their lives for the service of Jesus and His Body, we will not have many men willing to make the sacrifice. St. Paul says that the apostle has a right to expect support from the ministry [http://usccb.org/bible/1cor/9:1 (1 Cor 9:3-12).] To motivate men to serve in this role, we must make it a rewarding way of life. (The very same principles apply to religious life: monks, nuns, brothers, sisters, etc.) Giving honor to priests and religious does not rob anyone else of the honor which they deserve for following the vocation GOD has given them.
