She wasn't a werewolf, she was a wifwolf. We need to let Marvel know just how badly they messed up. Aw, heck. I just googled "wifwolf" and found out I'm far from the first to propose this usage. Darn people, picking my low-hanging fruit before I even know it's there. Carborendum 1 Quote

I doubt that he means “priesthood” in the sense of having been ordained to a formal order of God’s priesthood (ie Aaronic or Melchizedek); but rather primarily as a literary metaphor for a group of people who are called out for a sacred purpose from among a broader, “profane” population. In that sense I think he means the entire church, male and female. Although the phrase “royal priesthood” could reference Melchizedek’s order, I tend to think it’s a callback to the Lord’s desire to have Israel sanctify themselves and become “a nation of kings and priests”. I imagine if Moses were alive today he would prefer saints of God prepare themselves to be kings and priests and queens and priestesses. Just_A_Guy, zil2 and Vort 3 Quote
