What is the role of a priest in the Church?
A priest is the person in church who tells you about God and Jesus and what happened when they were around. He is the person who leads everyone in the congregation or group of people in prayer. He is pretty much the main person in charge. He also has different names like father, priest, or pastor. If he is the priest in a Catholic Church, he is unable to get married, have children or anything like that because he is technically wed to the Church, and has taken a vow of celibacy in order to imitate Our Blessed Lord more closely..Catholic AnswerA priest is persona Christi in the Church. He is "another Christ". He is the arms and legs, mouth and ears for Our Blessed Lord in the Church. Thus when the priest celebrates Mass, he says, "This is my Body" and when he forgives sins he says, "I forgive you...." He is the one in the Church who offers the sacrifice - that has been the definition of a priest since ancient times: one who offers sacrifice. Like Our Blessed Lord, he is offering himself in sacrifice.

Who is the leader of the roman catholicism religion?
The leader of the Roman Catholic Church is the Bishop of Rome, who has the title of Pope, literally meaning "Papa."

What does the pope lead the church in?
Catholic AnswerThe Holy Father doesn't lead any branch of Christianity for the simple reason that Christianity as established by Our Blessed Lord, Jesus Christ, cannot have any "branches". Our Blessed Lord was very emphatic in establishing only one Church, which He founded on the Apostle Peter (and his successors-the Popes), read St. Matthew 16:17-19. The Christian Church is commonly called the Catholic Church. "Branches" of Christianity are actually denominations from a heresy called protestantism formed in the sixteenth century, which have appropriated the word "Christian" to themselves, which is where the confusion comes in.

Who leads in different congregations in a Roman Catholic Church?
Roman Catholic congregations around the world are divided into regional areas called diocese, or in cases where there is a higher number of Catholics in the population, archdiocese. These are lead by a bishop or archbishop. Each congregation within each diocese/archdiocese is led by a priest. This priest is called the pastor of that church. The pastors are appointed by the bishop of the diocese/archdiocese, and are not bound to one church, but may be transferred from congregation to congregation as the bishop sees fit. Every priest in a diocese answers to their bishop. Every bishop and archbishop is appointed directly by the Pope, who is the head of the Catholic Church and believed by Catholics to be the successor of St. Peter, the first pope. It is this way that the Roman Catholic Church traces its roots directly back to Jesus and claims to be the one true Church. The succession of every bishop and archbishop can also be traced directly back to Peter.

Is Roman Catholic a false religion?
Yes,it is a false religion. The most crucial problem with the Roman Catholic Church is its belief that faith alone in Christ is not sufficient for salvation. The Bible clearly and consistently states that receiving Jesus Christ as Savior, by grace through faith, grants salvation (John 1:12; 3:16,18,36; Acts 16:31; Romans 10:9-10,13; Ephesians 2:8-9). The Roman Catholic Church rejects this. The official position of the Roman Catholic Church is that a person must believe in Jesus Christ AND be baptized AND receive the Eucharist along with the other sacraments AND obey the decrees of the Roman Catholic Church AND perform meritorious works AND not die with any mortal sins AND etc., etc., etc. Catholic divergence from the Bible on this most crucial of issues, salvation, means that yes, Catholicism is a false religion. If a person believes what the Catholic Church officially teaches, he/she will not be saved. Any claim that works or rituals must be added to faith in order for salvation to be achieved is a claim that Jesus' death was not sufficient to fully purchase our salvation.Extra: While salvation by faith is the most crucial issue, in comparing Roman Catholicism with the Word of God, there are many other differences and contradictions as well. The Roman Catholic Church teaches many doctrines that are in disagreement with what the Bible declares. These include apostolic succession, worship of saints or Mary, prayer to saints or Mary, the pope / papacy, infant baptism, transubstantiation, plenary indulgences, the sacramental system, and purgatory. While Catholics claim Scriptural support for these concepts, none of these teachings have any solid foundation in the clear teaching of Scripture. These concepts are based on Catholic tradition, not the Word of God. In fact, they all clearly contradict Biblical principles.In regards to the question "Are Catholics saved?", this is a more difficult question to answer. It is impossible to give a universal statement on the salvation of all members of any denomination of Christianity. Not ALL Baptists are saved. Not ALL Presbyterians are saved. Not ALL Lutherans are saved. Salvation is determined by personal faith in Jesus alone for salvation, not by titles or denominational identification. Despite the unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, there are genuine believers who attend Roman Catholic churches. There are many Roman Catholics who have genuinely placed their faith in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. However, these Catholic Christians are believers despite what the Catholic Church teaches, not because of what it teaches. To varying degrees, the Catholic Church teaches from the Bible and points people to Jesus Christ as the Savior. As a result, people are sometimes saved in Catholic churches. The Bible has an impact whenever it is proclaimed (Isaiah 55:11). Catholic Christians remain in the Catholic Church out of ignorance of what the Catholic Church truly stands for, out of family tradition and peer pressure, or out of a desire to reach other Catholics for Christ.At the same time, the Catholic Church also leads many people away from a genuine faith relationship with Christ. The unbiblical beliefs and practices of the Roman Catholic Church have often given the enemies of Christ opportunity to blaspheme. The Roman Catholic Church is not the church that Jesus Christ established. It is not a church that is based on the teachings of the Apostles (as described in the Book of Acts and the New Testament epistles). While Jesus' words in Mark 7:9 were directed towards the Pharisees, they accurately describe the Roman Catholic Church, "You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe your own traditions!"

What is the Catholic Church's stand on profit-motive?
The Church supports free enterprise and profits as long as the "profit motive" is not disordered. The Catechism of the Catholic Church in section 2424 teaches that the profit, in and of itself, is not a bad thing; however, when it becomes an object that enslaves a man and leads to the idolizing of money, then it is a problem.
