Catholics and orthodox Christians have many levels of their clergy, those who preach are called priests

other denominations will call the preachers by either preacher or pastor

Catholic Answer
Yes, a priest is a member of the clergy.
From Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980: Clergy. Those specially ordained for Divine Service as deacons, priests, or bishops. In this sense, the clergy form the Church's hierarchy. Entrance into the clerical state now takes place when a man is ordained deacon. Formerly it was at the time he received first tonsure.

The primary duty is prayer. The rest consists of running the monastery; care and maintenance of the building and its contents, the kitchen-garden, cooking, tending ill members of the community, etc. Then there are other aspects such as study, or in open communities, charitable works outside and running retreats. And at Buckfastleigh, in Devon, making tonic wine!

Nope. Still alive at age 91 in Chicago, IL with his wife of of more than 60 years ago. He was born on June 23, 1925.

He may get recommendations from others, but the Pope alone selects cardinals.

The First Estate, speaking in terms of the Kingdom of France, was comprised entirely of The Clergy.

According to the Code of Canon Law (#285), clerics are to refrain from "all those things which are unbecoming to their state, according to the prescripts of particular law." This includes, in section 3, "Clerics are forbidden to assume public offices which entail a participation in the exercise of civil power." I suppose that a cleric could run and win an election for public office, but his duties as a member of the clergy would prevent him from taking up that office, unless "particular law" (usually the law of the diocese of incardination) granted a particular exception. Even if allowed by local Church authorities, there are a number of modern examples where Pope John Paul II has called upon priests who hold public office to step down or resign from the clerical state. There are several ignominious modern examples of clerics who have been elected to public office and who have assumed civil authority. Jean-Bertrand Aristide of Haiti comes to mind. Also... US senator Robert F. Drinan, a Jesuit priest (recently deceased) comes to mind. It seems that there have been a number of priests in Eastern bloc countries and in Central/South America who have held public office in times of persecution as an exception to the rule of universal law, in the interest of the public good. I would consider it most unlikely that an active Catholic priest in good standing would ever be allowed to run for or hold a major elected office in the United States. Maybe there are highly exceptional cases where the public good would be served by priests holding office on a local level... on a road or drainage commission, or a school board, perhaps... but I would consider even this very doubtful considering the desperate need of priests in most places to be focused on their formal ministries and to be approachable as ministers instead of being co-opted as political partisans. Canon 285 does not normally apply to 'permanent' deacons (who are also counted as members of the clergy) unless particular law specifies otherwise.

no any such law was there in french revolution

A local pastor can't disassemble the trustee board.

Hindus have priests & priestesses.

1079 AD under Pope Gregory VII.

by reading page 41 in the book in beginning of the second chapter it says "The precept that men of God should sleep alon, established by the lateran councils of 1123 and 1139..." so that should be an accurate answer.

Those who are not members of the clergy. These are members of the church with different duties.

The manorial system had the disadvantage of inhibiting people.

For the serfs, it made it difficult to move to towns or cities to find different work.

For the lords, it made it difficult to do things they might want to do with their property, because they had an obligation to provide homes, jobs, and protection to the serfs.

The manorial system dispersed political and economic power to a very low level, and this made it difficult for monarchs to overcome weaknesses in their central governments.

tithe - income paid to support noblemen and clergy.(cause they are to bloody lazy to freaking work!)

This varies widely and depends both on the denomination, the congregation, and the larger society.

Some clergy volunteer their ministry, so have to have a secular career to earn an income.

Some clergy get no salary, but have all their needs provided for.

Some clergy get some things provided for (housing, transportation, education, food) and a small stipend for spending money or investments.

Some clergy get a salary determined by the size of the congregation or the amount of offerings made, and could become millionaires.

In some countries, clergy are paid by the state, which collects a religion tax for all approved religious groups and distributes it accordingly. In other countries, churches must handle their own funds and nothing comes from the state. Some places allow tax breaks for clergy housing, some do not.

You can become a clergy by going to seminary. However you can become a minister online. You can sign up on a web site and immediately be a minister. This is perfectly legal in the United States, however some states have additional requirements.

Some clergy are freemasons, but most are not.

The proportion of clergy varied greatly, at least in the later middle ages, but generally may have amounted to 1-2% of the population, or perhaps half a million in western Europe around the 12th century.
