Moses was called a 'priest' occasionally when he needed to perform certain acts (Psalm 99:6/Exodus 24:6), like when he called upon God's name(YHWH) interceding for Israel(Numbers 14:13-20), but that was not his normal position(Exodus 40:12+13/Hebrews 5:4). He had a different job. He was the 'anointed' of God(Hebrews 11:23-26)prefiguring Jesus(Acts 3:20-22), the 'mediator of the law covenant' between God and the Israelites, and had the responsibility of writing out the law(2Chronicles 34:14), seeing that it was delivered and carried out (Leviticus 21:1-4+10+11), and arranging for Aaron and his sons to act a priests (Leviticus 8:1-10:20)(Exodus 25:1+Exodus 28:1+40-43/Numbers 3:10) .
Why did the chief priest refused to keep the money?
The chief priests refused to keep the money because it was considered "blood money," which they believed was tainted due to its connection to Judas Iscariot's betrayal of Jesus. According to the Gospel of Matthew, they deemed it inappropriate to put the money into the temple treasury, as it was associated with a wrongful act. Instead, they used the funds to purchase a potter's field, creating a burial place for foreigners. This decision reflected their attempt to distance themselves from the moral implications of the money.

What is the difference of secular priest and regular priest?
A secular priest is a priest who does not live according to a rule of a religious order, society, or congregation of priests. He is a priest who does not take the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience of the members of a religious order, but instead promises obedience to a diocesan bishop and to live a celibate life. Most parishes are administered by a secular priest and parish work is his main canonical mission. Today, a secular priest is often called a diocesan or archdiocesan priest. Secular priest is differentiated from regular priest (regular priest meaning a priest living according to a rule, regula in Latin, like the Franciscans, Dominicans, and Jesuits), better known today as religious order priest. Today, there is not much difference in the academic training of a secular priest and a regular priest because they often study in the same college and graduate theology schools/universities though they may differ in the mission, vision, and spiritual formations since a regular priest has additional training unique to the order, congregation, or society he belongs to.

How do you make a complaint about a Catholic priest?
Depending upon the nature of the complaint, you either call the local police, or you contact the pastor of your parish. If the priest in question is the pastor of your parish, then you contact the office of the bishop of your diocese.
ANSWER:
Your first step is to contact the diocesan Bishop. In most cases it is best to write, outlining the complaint so that the Bishop has a clear and concise outline of your complaint. Be sure to include dates and time, if appropriate and whether there are other people who may be able to either corroborate your complaint, or may possibly be having similar challenges.
If your complaint involves any allegations of illegalities, be certain to write down, in the clearest terms, what happened, what you said, what was said to you, where were you at the time, was there anyone present at the time.
If your complaint is a matter for the laity, then it's appropriate to first discuss the matter with the PCC (Parochial Church Council) or vestry members to seek guidance. It could be damaging to go directly to the Bishop should the matter involve something of which the laity already have knowledge and are working to resolve. Failure to do so could lead to embarrassment and possible alienation of friendships within the parish.

Who is pertelote in the story the Nun's Priest's tale?
Pertelote is a hen in "The Nun's Priest's Tale" from Chaucer's Canterbury Tales. She is the wife of Chauntecleer, the proud rooster, and tries to comfort and advise him when he has a prophetic dream about his impending doom.
If you're referring to Chaucer's Canterbury tales in which the "Nun's Priest Tale" is one of them, then it's the story of a male chicken who learns the lesson to not give into flattery. The person who is telling the story doesn't have a long description, but from what I know he's a witty preacher who seems to not want to draw attention to himself.
a nun might be what you are looking for... a female priest... or maybe an atheist, a person who doesn't believe in God or religion and obviously a priest is very much into religion
What does the Nun's Priest's tale suggest about its teller the Nun's Priest?
I would suggest that the Nun's Priest Tale tells us lots about his skill with rhetoric, storytelling as an art, and satirising multiple genres. He is clearly a man of some intelligence, and seems to have strong opinions, in particular his views of misogyny and the church. He's placed in a subservant position below the prioress but from his contrasting description of the widow and the prioress' description he seems to be making a satirical dig, at her lack of "nun like" behaviour. The Nun's Priest seems to have a fairly good sense of humour, and is both a comic and engaging storyteller. Thats just my guess anyway :)

from Modern Catholic Dictionary by John A. Hardon, S.J. Doubleday & Co., Inc. Garden City, NY 1980
Priest. An authorized mediator who offers a true sacrifice in acknowledgment of God's supreme dominion over human beings and in expiation for their sins. A priest's mediation is the reverse of that of a prophet, who communicates from God to the people. A priest mediates from the people to God.
Christ, who is God and man, is the first, last, and greatest priest of the New Law. He is the eternal high priest who offered Himself once and for all on the Cross, a victim of infinite value, and he continually renews that sacrifice on the altar through the ministry of the Church.
Within the Church are men who are specifically ordained as priest to consecrate and offer the body and blood of Christ in the Mass. The Apostles were the first ordained priests, when on Holy Thursday night Christ told them to do in his memory what he had just done at the Last Supper. All priests and bishops trace their ordination to the Apostles. Their second essential priestly power, to forgive sins, was conferred by Christ on Easter Sunday, when he told the Apostles, "For those whose sins you forgive, they are forgiven; for those whose sins you retain, they are retained: (John 20-22, 23). All the Christian faithful, however, also share in the priesthood by their baptismal character. They are enabled to offer themselves in sacrifice with Christ through the Eucharistic liturgy. They offer the Mass in the sense that they internally unite themselves with the outward offering made by the ordained priest alone.
A priest is a member of the clergy of the Catholic Church. A priest can administer most of the sacraments, say mass and transform bread into His Body and wine into His Most Precious Blood.
How many Jesuit priests were there in New France?
New France (French: Nouvelle-France) was the area colonized by France in North America during a period extending from the exploration of the Saint Lawrence River, by Jacques Cartier in 1534, to the cession of New France to Spain and Britain in 1763.
Four Jesuit priests came to Quebec in 1625. Although it was intended that others should follow at once, their number was not substantially increased until seven years later, when the troubles with England were brought to an end and the colony was once more securely in the hands of the French. Then the Jesuits came steadily, a few arriving with almost every ship, and either singly or together they were sent off to the Indian settlements.
More missionaries kept coming, however; the work steadily broadened; and the posts of service were multiplied. In due time the footprints of the Jesuits were everywhere, from the St. Lawrence to the Mississippi, from the tributaries of the Hudson to the regions north of the Ottawa. Priests such as: Le Jeune, Masse, Brebeuf, Lalemant, Ragueneau, Le Dablon, Jogues, Gamier, Raymbault, Peron, Moyne, Allouez, Druilletes, Chaumonot, Menard, Bressani, Daniel, Chabanel, and a hundred others were active around 1625.
The outposts in the Indian country were the chief scene of Jesuit labors from 1615 to about 1700, when the emphasis shifted to the St. Lawrence valley.
