Do you know English offensive words for priests? Especially Catholic ones. Paweł ze Szczecina 11:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm pretty sure Wiktionary doesn't endorse vocationist prejudices. Go back to your anti-Catholicism club. Tharthan (talk) 03:33, 26 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

-ess[edit]

Can a female eb a priest without being referred to as a priestess? Since -ess is generally considered somewhat sexist today I would assume yes. Not only that, but a priest isn't always a Christian clergyman (ex. "The tribal priest tended to the warrior's wounds.").67.11.140.20 03:01, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Verb[edit]

I seem to remember from Scrabble that priested is a word, hence this would be a verb, right? Mglovesfun (talk) 22:33, 12 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
