If you are referring to Pope Benedict XVI, he was never a parish priest as he spent most of his career as a professor of theology. After a long career as an academic, serving as a professor of theology at several German universities he was appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising and cardinal by Pope Paul VI in 1977, an unusual promotion for someone with little to no pastoral experience.
