Catholic AnswerThere is only one priest in Catholicism, the high priest, Our Blessed Lord, Christ Jesus, the one "mediator between God and men (1 Tim 2:5), the unique "high priest after the order of Melchizedek; (Heb 5:10; cf 6:20; Gen 14:18) The priests thus came about as instituted by Our Blessed Lord, as stated above, at the Last Supper when Our Blessed Lord ordained the Apostles as His first Bishops and instituted the priesthood with them.from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:1545 The redemptive sacrifice of Christ is unique, accomplished once for all; yet it is made present in the Eucharistic sacrifice of the Church. The same is true of the one priesthood of Christ; it is made present through the ministerial priesthood without diminishing the uniqueness of Christ's priesthood: "Only Christ it the true priest, the others being only his ministers." (St. Thomas Aquinas, Hebr 8, 4)
1547 . . . The ministerial priesthood is a meansby which Christ unceasingly builds up and leads his Church. For this reason it is transmitted by its own sacrament. the sacrament of Holy Orders.

What does the priest represent?
Roman Catholic clergy are paid out of funds from their local diocese or archdiocese. Their exact pay varies from region to region but it is based around giving them enough money to pay for necessities and travel etc. Pay for an ordinary parish priest is never particularly high but a bishop or an archbishop might receive more pay.
Many priests will share resources with other priests. For example, in a parish with several priests, they might have a shared credit card, shared car, and shared living facilities. This sort of arrangement is common for priests. The emphasis within the Catholic Church is on service to the Church, not on pay, so the average parish priest is not extravagantly paid by local standards. Moreover most of the property they use - like their living accomodation - tends to be the property of the local archdiocese instead of their own property.

Are gay priests accepted in the Orthodox Church?
Priests who are partake in homosexual acts are not accepted in the Orthodox Church, but gay priests who do not partake in sexual acts are accepted, depending on their bishop, as he is the one who authorises and conducts the ordination of priests. The Orthodox Church does not judge persons who are homosexual as being wrong or evil in any way, but it treats any sexual acts outside of marriage as unlawful, according to the Bible. This applies to heterosexual acts as well, such as fornication and adultery. So a heterosexual priest who indulges in sexual acts outside of marriage would also not be accepted in the Orthodox Church.

Contrary to the previous answer, Christians did Not kill off the Druids
The Romans (another 'Pagan' people) all but wiped out the ancient druids ('educated' class of judges, healers, royal advisors, bards and prophetic seers) for reasons of their own that was probably political due to their influence on the 'Celtic' tribes that were at that time in the process of being conquered.
The bardic tradition part of their ways was carried on for a few centuries and finally died out in the 17th century .
It was revived in the late 17 / early 1800's by the poet William Blake and others
BTW This answer was written by a practicing Pagan who is sick of 'pat' answers that are factually incorrect or just plain wrong
