How were Aztec priests different from the priests today- and discuss their role?

This is an interesting question. The main differences between Aztec Priests and Catholic Priests are threefold:

1. Wardrobe - Aztec Priests wore really cool hats with feathers and bones and stuff. Priests today wear robes. In both cases, however, the role of the special garments is the same - to emphasize the Priests' social status.

2. Chastity - Priests today are usually not allowed to have sex. Aztec Priests were under no such compulsion. This meant that, in Aztec society, they often increased the genetic diversity of the population by spreading their seed. In this way, they were similar to European village "studs".

3. Connection to war - Catholic Priests are imperialist stooges of the military-industrial-entertainment complex. Aztec Priests played a moderating role in foreign policy and often encouraged chieftains to restrain their bloodlust. Both types of priest were meant to speak truth to power, but the kind of truth was different based on culture.

That's all I can think of. The religious ceremonies are slightly different, too, I guess. But, when you think about it, is communion really that different from beheading someone and eating their heart?

What does a priests stole look like?

The stole that the priest wears is a narrow scarf like garment, usually a couple inches wide that goes around his neck and falls roughly knee length. They are usually the color of the season, or white or gold for a feast or a funeral, though the later could be purple or black; and usually the same design and fabic of his chausable. Catholics believe that a priest should always have a stole on when doing anything liturgical, ie: hearing confessions, preaching, giving out Holy Communion, etc. If it is a spur of the moment, like a requested confession (as opposed to scheduled confessions), or Last Rites for an accident victim, he might put on a small, portable type stole which is only a inch or two wide and a couple feet long. The reason for this is that the stole is the symbol of his priesthood, so that, for example, when confession is heard, it is not made to 'father so-and-so' but to a priest.

Priests known as augurs were important members of Roman society because?

Augury, a form of divination which involved reading the omens of the gods, was a very important aspect of Roman religion. Many political procedures could not start before performing augury. War could not star before the performance of augury. Religion, political, public and private life were closely interconnected. This made the augurs very important. During the Roman Republic, augury was conferred on the top officers of state, the consuls and the praetors. This strengthened their authority and made it possible for them to perform the auguries which were often needed before they could carry out their political and administrative roles.

How many priests in Ireland?

There are about 4,500 priests in Ireland but the numbers are falling quickly due to a high number of deaths and a low number of ordinations. For example, only 9 priests were ordained in Ireland in 2007 (when 162 priests died). This is a shockingly low number of ordinations especially given the relatively high proportion of the population that goes to church. In Sweden, where about 5% of the population goes to church and which has double the population of the Republic of Ireland, over 50 priests were ordained into the Church of Sweden in the same year. Of course, the Church of Sweden allows the ordination of married men and women. Time for the Catholic Church to wake up and allow the same.

Will a priest agree to perform a same-sex wedding ceremony?

A Roman Catholic priest is not likely to agree to such a thing, as he would face discipline from either the diocese or his order, since the Catholic church does not sanction same-sex marriage, even in places where it is legal. Catholic priests have been known to break ranks with church doctrine from time to time, but it does not happen often.
