If your admiration is pure, then I don't see how it would be a sin. We all connect to different people for different reasons. If you gain more knowledge and appreciation for the teachings of Christ through a certain individual, there is nothing wrong.
It's the same as attending a function and feeling excited over the speaker who you enjoy listening to more than another. So long as it is an intellectual appreciation, that can't possibly be a sin.

No providing you are not lusting for him. Is it a sin to be happy to see a friend and sad when you don't? Of course not. So it should be no different with a priest. Maybe you should tell him how much you enjoy it when he gives mass.

are you attracted to this priest? is he a catholic priest?
if you're a female you might be able to set him free(if you're of age).
he is living in a way that the bible doesn't say he should live in.
it's also an un- natural way to live.
imagine all the burning that he feels day after day; and the longing for sexual companionship will not cease.
some woman of age could save him from all that and keep him from becoming a pedophile, by seduceing this priest that you're admireing so much.

Why would that be a sin? Is there more to this than you are stating?
I really enjoy our pastor's worship as well. During the music worship, he often wanders among the congregation, dancing a bit with one member, patting another on the back with a hug, things like that. Nothing wrong with it lol, it's okay to love your pastor/priest as a brother.

No, you are just missing a friend. Where is the sin in that? Anything done out of love for another can never be wrong, thus never a sin.This is the gist of what Jesus' teachings are all about.

Your admiring a misguided man.
He is practicing False religion.
Yes, it is a sin before God. Some would see it as adultery. Perhaps lust. Just opinion, that you asked for.

Depends on your focus. Are you there to see the priest or to focus on praying the Mass?

Assuming your interests are not imprurient, no, it isn't a sin. A joyful priest exulting in God - one who is a friend - that should be a joy to you also.

You've got the hots for a priest! Dirty, dirty, dirty! (Just kidding.)
You should tell him. Maybe he is into you. There's nothing wrong with you having feelings for someone. It's irrational to hold your feelings back.
