The sin of the priest has no bearing on the Eucharist as long as the Priest is a real priest and the consecration is valid. The trans-substance comes from God and the priest just the instrument. In your scenario, the priest would be committing the sin of sacrilege. Only God knows who is in mortal sin. For something to be a mortal sin, the person must:
A) know the seriousness of the action
B) but go ahead and act on it anyway.
Fallen priests do not disprove the doctrine of the priesthood. But discrediting the Church by focusing on bad priests is handy for those who want to discredit moral authority. Then they feel justified in doing whatever they want. (contraception, abortion, euthanasia, same sex unions, etc.)
I wasn't going to respond as I am and even in that I am curbing my sincere outrage at such claims of irreverence. I will address this as nicely as possible. Actually I will let the saints and prophets address it.
Why there is a complication within the Catholic assembly and opponents of it? It is stuff just like this. It is clear that those wolf doctrines have taken a strong hold of this assembly. And they do not spare even the flock.
Acts 20:28-30
Paul's Farewell to the Ephesians
…28Keep watch over yourselves and the entire flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which He purchased with His own blood. 29
I know that after my departure, savage wolves will come in among you and will not spare the flock. 30Even from your own number, men will rise up and distort the truth to draw away disciples after them.…
Clearly there is a divide.
Universalism? It is as the word clearly denotes, a collective consciousness amongst a group body that shares one spirit. So that word does not only apply to the unity of a body united in one mind in Christ. That word also reveals one body united in one mind with something else. What is that something else?As I said I will be as nice as possible. So I will let the reader decide. But I feel it my obligation to allow seekers in Christ to have the other mindset available to them if they so choose to enter the Catholic assembly. I would like to also point out, that weeds are always more numerous especially when left unchecked . The Catholic assemble is like any garden, when not attended to diligently the weeds take over and smother the good things in it. They become scarce and limited, to the point of the good fruits extinction in the garden. A weed can grow in a dung heap of the worse type of excrement of dogs. It flourishes in a garbage dump of all the worse the world can discard.
Those beautiful things require alertness and heartfelt diligence to preserve.
SAINTS STANCE :
Does the priest that celebrates in mortal sin give honor to God? As far as regards himself, he treats the Lord with the greatest dishonor that can be offered to Him, by despising Him in his own person. For by his sacrilege he appears, as far as in him lies, to defile the immaculate Lamb, Whom he immolates in the Consecrated Host. To you, O Priests, says the Lord by the Prophet Malachy, who despise My name, . . . you offer polluted bread upon My altar, and you say, wherein have we polluted Thee? “We,” says (St. Jerome), in his comment on this passage, “pollute the bread, that is, the body of Christ, when we unworthily approach the Altar.”
God cannot raise a man to a greater elevation than by conferring on him the sacerdotal dignity. How many selections must the Lord have made in calling a person to the priesthood. First, he must select him from a countless number of possible creatures. He must then separate him from so many millions of pagans and heretics, and, lastly, he must make choice of him from the immense multitude of the faithful. And what power does God confer on this man? If the Lord bestowed only on one man the power of calling down by his words the Son of God from Heaven, how great should be his obligations and his gratitude to the Lord! This power God grants to every priest. Lifting up the poor out of the dunghill, that he may place him with princes, with the princes of His people. [Ps. 62: 6]
The number of persons to whom God has given this power does not diminish the dignity or the obligations of the priesthood. But what does the priest do that celebrates in the state of sin? He dishonors and despises the Lord, by declaring that so great a Sacrifice is not deserving of the reverence which would make him dread the sacrilegious oblation of it, says St. Cyril.
“The hand,” says St. John Chrysostom, “that touches the sacred Flesh of Jesus Christ, and the tongue that is purpled with His Divine Blood, should be purer than the rays of the sun.” In another place he says “that a priest ascending the Altar should be possessed of purity and sanctity which would merit for him a place in the midst of the Angels.” How great, then, must be the horror of the Angels when they behold a priest, who is the enemy of God, stretching forth his sacrilegious hands to touch and eat the immaculate Lamb!
Still more wicked is the priest that celebrates Mass with a soul defiled by mortal sin. God turns away His eyes that He may not behold such horrible impiety.When, says the Lord, you stretch forth your hands, I will turn away My eyes, for your hands are fu// of blood. [Is. 1: 15] To express the disgust that He feels at the sight of such sacrilegious priests, the Lord declares that He will scatter the dung of their sacrifices over their faces: I will scatter upon your face the dung of your solemnities. [Mal. 2: 3]
Her priests have defiled My sanctuaries, . . . and I was profaned in the midst of them.[Ezec. 22: 26] Alas! O Lord, exclaims St. Bernard, how does it happen that some of those that hold a high place in Your Church are the first to persecute You! This is, indeed, too true, as St. Cyprian says, that a priest who celebrates Mass in the state of sin insults with his mouth and hands the very body of Christ. Another author, Peter Comestor, adds, that the priest who pronounces the words of Consecration in the state of sin spits, as it were, in the face of Jesus Christ; and when he receives the most Holy Sacrament into his unhallowed mouth he, as it were, casts the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ into the mire. But why do I say that he casts Jesus Christ into the mire? The soul of a priest in sin is worse than mire; and, as Theophilactus says, the mire is not so unworthy of receiving the Divine flesh as the heart of a sacrilegious priest. The sacrilegious priest, then, says St. Vincent Ferror, is guilty of greater impiety than if he cast the most Holy Sacrament into a sink. Such, too, is the doctrine of St. Thomas of Villanova.
