How many titles can there be?
2006-11-12 09:40:57 · update #1
Reverend, Pastor, and Priest, are Christian titles.
Cleric is a Muslim title.
Priest is specifically used by Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, and Lutherans. But only a Catholic or Orthodox ordination is valid.
In Catholicism, a Pastor is a Priest who heads a local parish.

In my denomination we don't have priests but we do have pastors and reverends(ministers) It depends on the level of training they have had. A reverend needs a degree in Theology and is then ordained. A pastor needs only a Diploma in Christian Ministry and is not ordained. But of course, both need to be recognized as having the call of God on their lives before they are recognized as either. Hope it helps clarify it for you. God bless

I think its all about their religion.
A reverend- is related to the clergy
A pastor- is somewhat related to the clergy
A cleric- i beleive is a memeber of the clergy
A priest-???? is it the catholic clergyman?
