Priest - Roman Catholic

Priests are the main body of the Roman Catholic church. They perform the same basic duties of a deacon, but are permanent ranks. They usually spend a year as a deacon first. They are either religious or diocesan, the former being tied in with a religious order like the Jesuits, and usually live with others of their order, along with following their superiors. The latter is tied to a diocese / parish. They have to take the Rite of the Eucharist to become one. They also can do the following rites: ceremony of the Eucharist, take confession, perform Anointing Of The Sick, and Holy Matrimony.
