How is the Church espoused to all of the priesthood at the same time? Is that not adultery?

Priests mystically represent and are conformed to Christ the one groom of the Church. They themselves are not the groom, but represent him in a unique way.

It is only an analogy.

I don’t think that is true because the spousal relationship is part of why priests are celibate.

I hope you’re not suggesting that the Church is having marital relations with the priests.
Jesus is the “spouse” of every sister who takes religious vows, also. Is he somehow committing polygamy by having thousands of “brides of Christ”?
It’s a spiritual and mystical union.
