What is the list of leadership from Pope the Preist?

Answer 1

Here are the most commonly known titles of Holy Orders. There are of course many others both ordained and for lay people of both genders.

Deacons - ordained, usually men preparing for priesthood. Sometimes though this title can be given to married men people also (aka permanent deacons). They are able to perform some of the rites and rituals of the catholic church, but are unable to hear confession, give absolution, annoint the sick or say mass.

Priest - usually connected to a parish or church and looks after that parish. They can administer sacraments of eucharist, baptism, marriage, annointing the sick and reconcillation, but not confirmation (usually) or Holy Orders. They are answerable to their diocesan bishop.

Monsignor - a priest who holds special honours, bestowed upon them by the Pope through the advice of the diocesan bishop

Bishop - looks after a diocese (region). Other bishops may be appointed to help with the role of administering the diocese.

Cardinal - higher than a bishop in the hierarchy of the church and are appointed by the Pope, usually from the college of bishops. These clergymen make up the college of cardinals who advise the Pope and in the event of the death of a pope, elect a new one.

Patriach - The Pope is considered a patriach. A patriach is an appointed leader for the bishops of several diocese.

Pope - successor of St Peter and is the Supreme Pontiff of the Universal Church
