The conquistadors brought priests to the Americas to convert indigenous peoples to Christianity, thereby expanding the influence of the Catholic Church. Additionally, having a priest present could provide moral and spiritual guidance to the conquistadors themselves on their missions.
The opposite of priestess would be something like "layperson" or "non-clergy."
In the Old Testament, sins were typically forgiven through the offering of sacrifices, such as burnt offerings or sin offerings, as outlined in Leviticus. A person would bring a prescribed animal sacrifice to the priest who would then offer it on their behalf to atone for their sins.

Caiaphas, according to the New Testament, was a Jewish High Priest, so he must have been from the subsection of Levites called Cohens (the descendants of Aaron, Moses's brother). Since Aaron was himself a Levite, all Cohens are Levites.
A medieval priest would have used various tools in their religious duties, including a chalice for holding consecrated wine during Mass, a censer for burning incense, a thurible for carrying the incense, a paten for holding the Eucharistic bread, and a stole as a symbol of their authority. Additionally, they would have used a missal or breviary for conducting services, a crucifix for religious rituals, and possibly a rosary for personal devotions. These tools were essential for carrying out the sacraments and rituals of the Catholic Church during the Middle Ages.

Conquistadors sought glory and riches primarily to enhance their personal status and power, as well as to gain favor with the Spanish crown. Their conquests in the Americas were driven by the desire for wealth, particularly gold and silver, which would not only enrich themselves but also contribute to Spain's dominance in Europe and the New World. Additionally, they aimed to spread Christianity, seeing their exploits as a means to convert indigenous populations.
