Priests lived in small houses near to their parish church, often with a small plot of land attached for growing vegetables or raising a few animals. Priests depended for their income entirely upon their parishioners, so in major centres of population priests would be quite well off.
In small rural parishes with fewer people (who were themselves generally poor), priests struggled and many lived in poverty and near to starvation.
The "deserted medieval village" of Wharram Percy in Yorkshire was mainly occupied between the 12th and 14th centuries, then abandoned. Its Archaeology preserves the layout of a typical small medieval village, with only the church of St Martin still standing. The priest's house (called "parsonage" by the archaeologists) was just to the south of the church in its own small plot.

Some had beards, some did not.
They were treated with respect and it was illegal to hang a priest.
In the Medieval Era the only people who were educated enough to read were royalty, priests, and scholars. There was no way to produce mass books then and that kept the common people illiterate.
The church was Catholic so it was the Pope and the priests.

Medieval is a time period and didn't work. The largest group worked the land as serfs, then there were merchants, priests, and nobles.
