What is the difference between a pastor and a priest in religion?

The question of the difference between a priest and a pastor belongs to the question of Christianity (in the broad sense). In translating Christianity from the West, the Chinese language distinguishes between the different sects of Christianity due to the missionary routes and sects, and also due to the depth and breadth of our traditional Chinese culture. Priest, the ritual title of the priests of the Roman Catholic Church or the Catholic Church, priest, is the equivalent translation of the Orthodox priests, priests, that is, the beginning of the reformation of Protestant Christianity, the priesthood.

Priests are a Roman Catholic religious order, and for centuries only men have been allowed to hold this position, and they are forbidden to marry for life.

In recent years, some Catholic reformers have advocated allowing women to become priests, but conservatives in the church have rejected this.

It is important to note that a nun is not the same as a priest, nor is it one of the religious offices of the Roman Catholic Church.

The work of a priest

Priests not only preside at Masses and weddings, but also pray for the dying, offer confessions, and perform exorcisms.

How to become a priest

To become a priest, one must first receive a vocation to the priesthood, and then study theology in a seminary. After this, a one-year internship in a parish is required before one can become a priest.

The rite of priestly ordination is generally called ordination, and it is usually performed by a bishop. Ordination is one of the seven sacraments.

Types of priests

There are two types of priests: those who serve the diocese and those who belong to religious orders.

Priests (formerly known as presbyters) are sacramental persons in the Protestant Church. They differ from Catholic priests in that priests can marry and women can become priests. In the three-tiered sacramental system, the priest is above the bishop and below him is the curate

The priest is a member of a religious order.
