Roman Catholic Answer:A diocesan priest takes no vows. He is obligated to pray The Divine Office each day, and he makes a solemn promise of obedience to his Bishop when he is ordained. He also makes a promise of celibacy (this may be a vow, it is spoken of as a solemn vow in my pre-Vatican II dictionary, but I can find no reference to it in the current Catechism).

What is the differences between a Diocesan Priest and a Priest who belongs to Religious orders?

in terms of ministry and function, there is no difference. Diocesan priests and religious priests perform the exact same ministries of the priesthood such as working in a parish, high school, university, retreat, social outreach, etc. The only true difference between a religious priest and a diocesan priest is that religious priests take the 3 evangelical counsels: the vow of obedience to their superior (they don't need to swear allegiance to and obey any diocesan bishop unless the order specifies that they do if the work in a certain diocese, but they are required to be obedient to the Bishop of Rome), the vow of poverty (which doesn't necessarily mean poor, just have less things and share everything in community that are not materialistic and distracting), and the vow of chastity. Diocesan priests on the other hand are required to obey the diocesan bishop of the diocese they exercise their ministries, and generally do not take the 3 vows (counsels), but instead promises their bishop of their obedience and celibacy, possibly even some form of poverty as well.

What is Secularization priest?

A secular priest is a priest who does not live according to a rule of a religious order, society, or congregation of priests. He is a priest who does not take the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience of the members of a religious order, but instead promises obedience to a diocesan bishop and to live a celibate life. Most parishes are administered by a secular priest and parish work is his main canonical mission. Today, a secular priest is often called a diocesan or archdiocesan priest. Secular priest is differentiated from regular priest (regular priest meaning a priest living according to a rule, regula in Latin, like the Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits), better known today as religious order priest. Today, there is not much difference in the academic training of a secular priest and a regular priest because they often study in the same college and graduate theology schools/universities though they may differ in the mission, vision, and spiritual formations since a regular priest has additional training unique to the order, congregation, or society he belongs to.
