Yes, an abbot can ordain a priest, but this authority typically depends on the specific rules of the monastic order and the local church jurisdiction. In many monastic traditions, abbots have the power to ordain priests within their monastery or community. However, in some cases, they may need permission from a bishop or higher ecclesiastical authority to carry out the ordination.
