The hierarchy of ordained ministers in the Catholic Church mirrors how Jesus and the Apostles set up the original Christian Church.
There are three levels of Holy Orders, Deacon, Priest, and Bishop.
Bishops are the Apostles of today. Each one leads a diocese. Special types of bishop are archbishop, cardinal, and pope (who leads the whole Church).
Priests are co-workers of the bishops and can lead a parish. A special title for a priest is monsignor. Priests are called presbyters in the Bible.
Deacons assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the Eucharist, in the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting at and blessing marriages, in the proclamation of the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and in dedicating themselves to the various ministries of charity.
With love in Christ.

Unquestionably, as in any large organization, there exist numerous kindly and well meaning individuals. However, in respect of those who "own and run" the church, the following is, sadly, very much on point: http://www.vaticanassassins.org/ http://www.thewatcherfiles.com/vatican-ny.html http://www.theforbiddenknowledge.com/hardtruth/blackpope.htm
Be it noted, i am not anti church, but i am very much anti psychopaths :)))
