Is christianity' s local leader a priest?
Do you mean the leader of a local church? Only Catholics refer to this person as a "priest". Other denominations use expressions such as "minister", "pastor", "elder", "rector", etc. A priest (in any religion) is a person who represents the needs of the people to the gods. So every Christian is a priest. Every time you pray for someone else, you are being a priest to that person. In another sense, there is only one Priest in Christianity - Jesus. He intercedes for us when we sin and secures forgiveness from God the Father.

Is a confirmed Christian recognized in a Catholic church?
Only the Sacrament of Baptism, that is performed in another Christian Church, is recognized by the Catholic Church..Catholic AnswerThe only sacrament that can be given by anyone - even a non-baptized person - is baptism. Every other sacrament, including confirmation, requires a validly ordained priest, which can only be found in a Catholic Church, or in an Orthodox Church which has maintained valid orders. Someone outside the Catholic Church who has been validly baptized is considered a Christian, but any confirmation attempted outside the Church would be invalid.

What is the role of a priest in the Church?
A priest is the person in church who tells you about God and Jesus and what happened when they were around. He is the person who leads everyone in the congregation or group of people in prayer. He is pretty much the main person in charge. He also has different names like father, priest, or pastor. If he is the priest in a Catholic Church, he is unable to get married, have children or anything like that because he is technically wed to the Church, and has taken a vow of celibacy in order to imitate Our Blessed Lord more closely..Catholic AnswerA priest is persona Christi in the Church. He is "another Christ". He is the arms and legs, mouth and ears for Our Blessed Lord in the Church. Thus when the priest celebrates Mass, he says, "This is my Body" and when he forgives sins he says, "I forgive you...." He is the one in the Church who offers the sacrifice - that has been the definition of a priest since ancient times: one who offers sacrifice. Like Our Blessed Lord, he is offering himself in sacrifice.
