Priests

Apparently, they were agitating Spain for reform for its government of the Philippines.

In Catholicism, most priest would be residents of the parish campus. That is, they live in a rectory that is never far from the actual church. Occasionally, they may some where else. If they live far enough away to warrant driving, they drive.

No. They usually learn Latin.

They mocked Jesus on the cross by saying, "if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." The mocking of the passerby was similar. Of course, Christ did not respond to their challenge, because that would not have fulfilled His mission on earth.

Jehovah's Witnesses do not have men or women priests. We have elders, but no elderettes. But all baptized Jehovah's Witnesses are ordained ministers.

No, they were one family from the tribe of the Levites.

Because in Islam, a Muslim's has a direct relationship with Allah, and it is a private one. There is no need for a middle man. And since there are no ranks in Islam, all Muslims are the same, no on is closer to Allah than the rest.

From the Rite of Confirmation:The bishop and the priests who will administer the sacrament with him lay hands upon all the candidates (by extending their hands over them). The bishop alone sings or says:
All-powerful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
by water and the Holy Spirit you freed your sons and daughters from sin
and gave them new life.
Send your Holy Spirit upon them to be their Helper and Guide.
Give them the spirit of wisdom and understanding,
the spirit of right judgment and courage,
the spirit of knowledge and reverence.
Fill them with the spirit of wonder and awe in your presence.
We ask this through Christ our Lord.
All: Amen.The Anointing of Chrism
“The anointing with chrism and the accompanying words express clearly the effect of the giving of the Holy Spirit. Signed with the perfumed oil, the baptized receive the indelible character, the seal of the Lord, together with the gift of the Holy Spirit that conforms them more closely to Christ and gives them the grace of spreading ‘the sweet odor of Christ’” (Introduction 9).
The deacon brings the Chrism to the bishop. Each candidate goes to the bishop, or the bishop may go to the individual candidates. The one who presented the candidate places his right hand on the latter’s shoulder and gives the candidate’s name to the bishop; or the candidate may give his own name.
Bishop: Dips his right thumb in the Chrism and makes the sign of the cross on the forehead of the one to be confirmed, as he says: “(Name), be sealed with the gift of the Holy Spirit.”
Newly confirmed: Amen.
Bishop: Peace be with you.
Newly confirmed: And also with you.

Yes. Many religious figures accompanied a crusade - after all, it was a holy undertaking. Everything from Bishops to accompany Kings to priests and monks. There were also religious military orders, such as the most famous two - the Knights Templar and the Knights Hospitaller

There is nothing saying that priests cannot be police officers. That said, there may be a conflict since they have sworn to keep the sanctity of the confessional. It is hard to know everyone's darkest secrets and to not use that information as a police officer. That could put such a priest in some legal trouble, if they are required to give information that their faith does not permit them to give.

Holy Orders

If I understand the question correctly, you are asking if the Roman Catholic priesthood is the direct successor of Melchizedek, the first priest mentioned in the Bible.

The answer is...not really. In Roman Catholic theology, Christian priests are often presented as being the successors of Old Testament Jewish priests. This is a theological interpretation, however, and it is not historically true. The popular conception of Catholic priests being intermediaries between God and man resulted from a complex set of logical and linguistic misinterpretations made by Christians in the centuries following the completion of the New Testament.

The English word "priest" is a contraction of the Greek word "presbyter." Presbyter simply means "elder." The words "presbyter" and "bishop" were used interchangeably in the New Testament, referring to the same office. In the second century, the word "bishop" started to be reserved for the senior pastor in a city.

A presbyter is simply an elder, a senior leader in the Christian community. There is no hint in the New Testament of a "sacrificial" ministry on the part of the elders. A completely different Greek word was used to refer to the Old Testament priests who offered sacrifice.

As theologians began to speak of the Eucharist as a sacrifice, Christians started to take this poetic comparison as a literal statement. As a result of this logical category mistake by early Christians, the word "presbyter" started to take on the connotations of the Old Testament priesthood. Over the course of the centuries, the presbyter came to be regarded as an intermediary between God and man who offered sacrifice to God in the form of the Mass.

Because this definition of "priest" has been codified in Roman Catholic dogma during the Council of Trent, it is the official Catholic position. It is not, however, historically or linguistically sound. The Roman Catholic definition of the priesthood is a barrier in ecumenical relations between the Catholic Church and other denominations. The Church has tried to back-peddle on some of these dogmas, however, by clarifying some teachings regarding the sacrificial nature of the Mass, such as affirming that Christ was sacrificed only once on the Cross, and the Mass merely presents that one original sacrifice.

With about 414,000 priests worldwide, there are too many to list here.

However, there is a book published every year by the Vatican called the Annuario Pontificio. This has a list of all clergy worldwide.

A similar directory is published for the United States, called the Kennedy Directory.

Every parish should have access to one or both of these.

The priest's purpose in building missions was to spread the Catholic religion. The Catholic Church was especially active in building missions, since their clergy believed that Catholicism was the one true faith. This meant the gospel must be preached to those who were not Catholics, and especially to those who were considered heathens, which meant the Indians (Native Americans). By building missions, it was easier for members of the church (not just priests, but bishops as well) to preach to the native people and, it was hoped, to persuade them to convert to Christianity.

BIRETTA

If you are asking about the square cap with three or four ridges or peaks, sometimes surmounted by a tuft, it is called a biretta.

a catholic priest cannot help to be a public figure since it involves the community and many other ethical issues.

As with the Armed Forces- there are different types of Uniforms for different jobs.l Green is generally used for Festive roles ( for example St. Patrick"s day, naturally) Black is associated with mourning, White for formal occasions, and purple for the lenten Passion. There are numerous color variations. I am not talking here about different clerical ranks- such as the use of Red as color-of-arm for Cardinals, and so on, but the regular or secular clergy. There are specific costume variations among different religious orders- technically the Regular Clergy) By the rule... such as the Brown Franciscan habit.

Priests look like normal human beings. With their robes and vestments on; they might look like some king!

In Matthew's Gospel, Judas returned the money to the priests and then hanged himself. They bought a piece of land for the burial of Gentiles.

In Acts of the Apostles, Judas did not return the money, but bought himself some land.

A person in most churches who is qualified to perform religious duties and ceremonies.
