Friar Lawrence. He seems to be the only priest around.
Friar Lawrence. "Ghostly" here means "spiritual"; the Friar is Romeo's spiritual father, as indeed all priests are.
Romeo refers to the Friar as his "ghostly sire" (2.2.188), so it appears that the Friar is Romeo's confessor. Also, when they speak, the Friar chides him about his yearning for Rosaline, so apparently the Friar is someone to whom the Friar has turned to for advice about love.

Romeo calls Friar Laurence his "ghostly father" because the friar has taken on a paternal role in providing guidance and support to Romeo, especially in matters of love and relationships. The term "ghostly" emphasizes the spiritual and moral guidance that Friar Laurence offers Romeo.
