A Christian religious minister is typically called a pastor or a minister.
Somebody 'of the cloth' refers to a Christian minister or priest of one of the older and established churches, such as the Church of England or Roman Catholic church. So, although somebody 'not of the cloth' usually means someone who is not a minister or priest of the established churches, it can also refer to someone who does not have a position of minister/deacon/priest/nun etc in any church, or it can also refer to someone who is not a member of a select group within ' the Establishment'.
Reverend of a different faith, not Catholic.
They listen to the minister, who carefully selects the few good verses in the Bible and then decides what he wants them to mean.
The Catholic Church recognizes all legal marriages between baptized Christians. Churches do not marry people. People marry people and the priest/minister is a witness.
This depends on the policy of the church. For example, Presbyterian churches belonging to the Presbyterian Church in the USA (PCUSA) have women ministers.
The usual minister for a parish is a priest or bishop. In rare cases where there is a shortage of priests, a deacon or even lay Eucharistic minister may lead a prayer service and distribute communion that has been previously consecrated at a Mass by a priest.
The clergy of the Roman Catholic Church are called Priests. The priest who heads a parish is also called a Pastor. The catholic church has extraordinary ministers such as the Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist. These are lay people who assist with giving communion.
Yes. Labels mean nothing to God, he's all about the individual.
