St. Paul: Priest, Bishop, Prophet

St. Paul was a priest in The Church that would soon be known to the ages as “Catholic”: 1 Cor 12:16 “The Bread that we break, is it not a participation in the Body of Christ?“
1 Cor 26:30 more specifically proclaims his priestly ordination: “For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes. So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.”
That’s a clear expression of Catholic Communion. And, it certainly explains why schisms have allowed “the gates of hell” to prevail on abortion, divorce, fornication, etc. Spiritually and morally, those in schism, and the schisms, themselves, are “weak and sick and a number of you (them) have died.”
Why? The previous passage explains why. They miss “a participation in The Body of Christ.”
We know St. Paul was a Bishop because he gave instruction to the priests in Acts 20:28-29 “At Miletus, Paul spoke to the presbyters of the Church of Ephesus: ‘Keep watch over yourselves and over the whole flock of which the Holy Spirit has appointed you overseers, in which you tend the Church of God that he acquired with his own Blood.'”
We see St. Paul as Priest and Bishop. Now, in verse 30 of that passage, we see St. Paul: Priest, Bishop, Prophet. Here we see a remarkably prophecy of St. Paul where he warns faithful Catholics about the dangers of Protestant schismatics: “I know that after my departure savage wolves will come among you, and they will not spare the flock. And from your own group, men will come forward perverting the truth to draw the disciples away after them.”
