| | Priest - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Priests are generally regarded as having good contact with the deities of the religion he or she ascribes to, and other believers will often turn to a priest for advice on spiritual matters. | | | The term "priestess" is often used for female priests in historical and modern paganism, neopagan religions such as Wicca and various reconstructionist faiths; however, in Christian churches such as those of the Anglican Communion, female priests are simply called priests without regard for gender. | | | Lutheranism uses "priest" in Scandinavia and the Baltics and in churches deriving from there, but not in Germany and churches deriving from there. |

| | Roman Catholic priests |
| | Priests in the Catholic Church may be categorized as either diocesan or religious. | | | Priests attached to religious orders staff many of the Church’s institutions of higher education and many high schools, whereas diocesan priests usually are concerned with the parochial schools attached to parish churches and with diocesan high schools. | | | Priests are encouraged by the Catholic Church to continue their studies, at least informally, after ordination. |

| | The Roman Catholic Priest: In Persona Christi Capitis |
| | Priests are ordained by bishops because the bishops are sharers in that authority which Christ granted to the Peter and the Apostles. | | | Thomas says, "the office proper to a priest is to be a mediator between God and the people; to wit, inasmuch as He bestows Divine things on the people, wherefore sacerdos (priest) means a giver of sacred things." The Levitical priesthood of the Old Testament is an example of this. | | | In all religions, the distinguishing mark of the priest is that he is one who offers sacrifice to God. |

| | THE LOGIC OF PRIESTLY CELIBACY |
| | Christ chooses the priest to be his friend, to recapitulate this cosmos in his life and thoughts, to offer it to God in obedience, for the praise of his glory. | | | The priest, who is called to Christ's side to be his chosen friend, participates in this priestly function of dedicating the universe to God. | | | And Christ is the priest who takes this cosmos into himself as his own, and makes the entire universe sing its obedience to God to give him glory. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Priest |
| | The priest is the minister of Divine worship, and especially of the highest act of worship, sacrifice. | | | The bishop is truly a priest (sacerdos), and even a high-priest; he has chief control of the Divine worship (sacrorum antistes), is the president of liturgical meetings; he has the fullness of the priesthood, and administers all the sacraments. | | | The priests replace him especially in the different parts of the diocese, where they are stationed by him; here they provide for the Divine Service, as the bishop does in the episcopal city, except that certain functions are reserved to the latter, and the others are performed with less liturgical solemnity. |

| | Celibacy and the Catholic Priest |
| | "Catholic moral theology is a folly that invokes God and pretends to be religion," she said. | | | He followed up with a study in 1983 that suggested that priests content with their vocations, were as likely to remain faithful to their vows of celibacy as happily married heterosexual husbands and wives are more inclined to stay faithful to each other. | | | There are some emotionally healthy relationships between priests who are faithful to their vows of celibacy and with women. |

| | About Father Trosch, a Roman Catholic priest |
| | A priest who accepts in faith all of the formal teachings of his Church remains in good standing with the Church and with God. | | | The official teaching of his Church, the Roman Catholic Church, is that the intentionally caused death of any innocent person, from the instant of conception onward, is murder (Catechism of the Catholic Church; The Gospel of Life). | | | Father Trosch is a Roman Catholic priest who disagrees with most bishops and priests and is still in good moral standing with God and good legal standing with His Church. |

| | Essay - The Gay Priest Problem - Catholic World Report - November 2000 |
| | These considerations serve to underscore the point that the problem of gay priests entails not simply the scandal of sexual misdemeanor but also the fact that gay Catholics, by virtue of the fact that they reject her authority, serve to undermine the teaching Church. | | | The leadership of the liberal movement in the Catholic Church today is still dominated by former priests, brothers, and seminarians who abandoned their vocations in the 1960s and 70s. | | | Yet the gamekeepers and their partisans keep alive the pretense that a priest can make the “mistakes” that lead to his death by AIDS while still serving the Church with moral and doctrinal and pastoral integrity, as if the inclination to sodomy were an isolable affliction like measles or a weakness for chocolate. |
