No one knows for certain the number of Catholic priest killed in World War II. At least 1,800 Polish priest died in concentration camps in Poland. Several thousand other died in other camps in different nations.
depending on what type of priests depended on how they made their money... if they were secular priests or clergymen such as bishops and archbishops, then they usually were paid by the king and they lived very wealthy lives and had many workers. if they were nuns or monks they sent their fryars out to preach the gospel and pretty much beg for food/money.
1. using the practice of laying investiture 2. bishops selling positions in the church-a practice called simony 3. many village priests married and had families

The Renaissance began a process of secularization which has reduced the power of priests and bishops in Europe, although it would be a mistake to say that their power has ended completely. The Roman Catholic Church remains a wealthy and powerful organization with many devoted followers, although it is not the dominant power of Europe that it once was.

The link below to the homepage of the Diocese of Rome lists the major members of the clergy of the Diocese of Rome along with emails of many of these. It is in Italian.
Yes. Many religious figures accompanied a crusade - after all, it was a holy undertaking. Everything from Bishops to accompany Kings to priests and monks. There were also religious military orders, such as the most famous two - the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller

. In 2012, Wikipedia has this: As of December 2009, the Capuchins were approximately 10,500 in number, of which 6,939 were priests.
Around 45% to 50% priests died. Hope this helps :)
There are currently (May 2011) 5,215 living bishops. This number includes bishops, archbishops, cardinals, and the Holy Father. See link below.
There are a total of four Bishops ; two Bishops per side/player .
This depends on the size of the church. In a small church, there is usually only one priest. A larger church may have one or two priests and a deacon. Large cathedrals may have 5-10 or more priests. Hierarchical liturgies can see 50 or more priests, bishops, deacons, and seminarians. But in the typical Orthodox church, you will find probably just one priest.
It clearly means all priests, bishops and god workers will not enter heaven. And at the same time ordinary people who lived good lives will enter heaven.
Yes and no. All popes are priests (bishops) but not all priests are popes. There is one pope but many priests. The pope is the leader of the Catholic Church, chosen in a secret election by the College of Cardinals.
