So there was no person other than Nichiren Daishonin, who inscribed this Gohonzon even though there were many high-grade priests during the Former, Middle and Latter Day of the Law. [This is from Nichiren Shu magazine.]
Is high-grade priests OK? I think it should be high-calibre priests?
Thanks.
@tanguatlay,
High-Grade Priest would make for a great comic book superhero/protagonist.

As Engineer pointed out, neither high-grade or high-caliber priests are a real theological thing. His high-ranking adjective is correct.
