Dear all

some times ago there was an interesting discussion on a Pakistani channel on Islam and papcy, clergy and priesthood

Participants were from different walks of life. Some of them were also professional priests i.e. they earned their livlihood from religion. Interesting thing is that all of them were in favour of professional priesthood or clergy. Others were not in favour.

What is your opinion? does Islam allow priests, clergy or papacy?

Bismillah,

Priests -- No.

Clergy -- learned people? Yes.

Papacy -- learned people appointed to be leaders? Yes.

Papacy -- learned people appointed to be leaders but revered as the connection between God and the people? No.
