Priest - In Christianity: Encyclopedia II - Priest - In Christianity In the Christian context, some confusion is caused for English speakers by two different Greek words traditionally translated as priest. Both occur in the New Testament, which draws a distinction not always observed in English. The first, presbyteros (πρεσβυτερος), Latin presbyter, is traditionally translated priest and the English word priest is indeed etymologically derived from this word; literally, it means elder, and is used in neutral and non-religious contexts in Gr ...

A canon (from the Latin canonicus and Greek κανωνικωσ 'relating to a rule') is a priest who is a member of certain bodies of the Christian clergy subject to a rule (canon).

Sacerdotalism (from Latin sacerdos, priest, literally one who presents sacred offerings, sacer, sacred, and dare, to give) is a term applied (usually in a hostile sense) to the system, method, and spirit of a priestly order or class, under which the functions, dignity, and influence of the members of the priesthood are exalted in the ministry of religion, and in the church at the expense of the laity.

Priest - In Christianity: Encyclopedia - Hierophant

The role of the hierophant in religion is to bring the congregants into the presence of that which is deemed holy. The word comes from Ancient Greece, where it was constructed from the combination of ta hiera, "the holy," and phainein, "to show." In Attica it was the title of the chief priest at the Eleusinian Mysteries. An analogous modern role would be that of a Catholic priest at Mass. It is taught, in occult and mystic groups and in Esoteric Christianity, that in the spiritual worlds Initiation i ...

The Basilian Fathers, also known as The Congregation of Saint Basil, is an international order of Roman Catholic priests and students studying for the priesthood. Their patron saint is Saint Basil the Great. After the closing of Catholic seminaries in France in 1822, a clandestine school was operated by two priests in central France. After the relevant French laws were relaxed the same year, the congregation was founded by a group of ten priests to ensure the continuation of the school, then operating in Annonay. The new order devoted themselves to Christian education, preaching, eva ...
