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

151 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 🙂

father and reverend are the honorific title options for someone with the job of priest.

instead of using Mr. preistX you would say Father preistX or reverend preistX
