Best Answer

The hierarchy of the priesthood of the Catholic church has the Pope at the top. Archbishops (sometimes Cardinals) run large archdioceses. Archdioceses are usually the most important or largest diocese in an area, with an Archbishop who has primacy of honor over the Bishops of the various Dioceses around it. Diocese are headed by Bishops. Parishes are run by local pastors and Parish priests.

Catholic AnswerThe priesthood of the Catholic Church is comprised of Bishops, who hold the fullness of Christ's priesthood, priests, who administer the all the sacraments except for Ordination, and they may administer confirmation with the express permission of their Bishop; and deacons, who assist the Bishop and the priests. All other orders are only titles of honor. The Pope, Cardinals, and Archbishops are all Bishops; Monsignors are priests; and Archdeacons are just deacons.

Do priests have the right to marry?

A Catholic man chooses whether to marry and live as a husband and father of a family, or whether to enter the priesthood. If he chooses to enter the priesthood, he takes a vow of celibacy, that is to remain unmarried. If a Catholic priest and his bishop agree that entering the celibate priesthood was a mistake on his part, the priest may be laicized and released from his vows, that is, he is no longer a member of the Catholic hierarchy but a layman, and free to marry. A fair number of (former) priests did this during the 1960s and 1970s - left the priesthood and married.
