What do priests, bishops and priests do? What is the difference?

The difference between a priest and a priest:

1. The priest is a Catholic position and the priest is a Christian position.

2. A priest can't get married, but a priest can.

Only men can be priests, and both men and women can be priests.

The difference between a priest and a priest belongs to the Christian (broad) religious system. When China people translated Christianity from the west, due to the problems of missionary routes and sects, and the profoundness of our traditional culture in China, different sects of Christianity were distinguished.

A priest, as a respectful name for a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, is a priest translated into the Orthodox Church, and a priest is a Protestant Christian priest at the beginning of the Reformation.

Pastor is a Roman Catholic religious position. For thousands of years, only men can hold this position and can't get married for life. In recent years, some Catholic reformers advocated allowing women to be priests, but they were rejected by church conservatives.

Male Catholic hierophant is called a priest, and male Christian Hierophant is called a priest. Pastor (old translator) is a Protestant saint. The difference with Catholic priests is that priests can get married and women can become priests. In the three-level sacred system, the priest is the bishop at the next level and the clerk at the next level.

Extended data:

First, this person must be a baptized Christian.

In China, 18 years old is usually required. Secondly, this person must be in the church for one year, attend classes for three months, and speak thoroughly. If parents want the newborn to be baptized, the priest can also baptize it.

If a believer is called by God to become a priest, he needs to apply for admission to a seminary to study theology. High school graduates can apply for provincial theological seminaries; High school students can go directly to Jinling Theological Seminary. In addition to this national seminary, there are 17 local seminaries or bible schools. When applying for a seminary, this person needs to obtain the recommendation of the church and the permission of the local religious affairs management department.

After completing seminary study and church practice, this person can become a priest through church ceremonies and exams. At present, Protestant clergy in China include priests, elders, missionaries and theologians.
