In the Middle Ages, the clergy ranks typically included three main orders: bishops, priests, and deacons. Bishops held the highest authority, overseeing multiple churches and regions, while priests served individual congregations, performing sacraments and leading worship. Deacons assisted priests and had roles in service and administration. Additionally, there were various titles and roles within these ranks, such as archbishops and cardinals, particularly in the Catholic Church.
