Catholic priesthood

cleric; member of certain bodies subject to an ecclesiastical rule

Presbyter () is an honorific title for Christian clergy. The word derives from the Greek , which means elder or senior, although many in Christian antiquity understood presbyteros to refer to the bishop functioning as overseer. The word presbyter is used many times in the New Testament, referring both to the Jewish leadership and the "tradition of the elders", and to the leaders of the early Christian community.
