ELI5- The difference between titles in Catholic Church? Father v Priest v Reverend ???!

486 viewsOther

This may sound silly, but I don’t understand when and why we use these different titles within the Catholic church.
I wasn’t raised in Catholicism but my husband was so our kids attend a Catholic school.
The Priest is referred to as “Father Blahblah” then he sends memos out as “Rev. Blahblah” and then I’ve also heard Bishop used in services before? I’m just very confused.

Thanks yall 🙂

it’s not silly at all . like a hierarchy thing in the church. a priest is often called father cause they guide the flock. reverend is just a formal title. bishops are like the big bosses. its all a bit confusing but it’s cool that ur kids are learning about it
