ABSTRACT
In every society, whether modern or traditional society, the place of religion cannot be overlooked as the revolve the centre of man’s activities. One of the most important tools for religion is the institution of the priesthood. In this thesis, the writer endeavoured to buttress the unequivocal importance of priesthood in the traditional and Christianity religion. A comparative analysis of the office of the priest were attempted for both traditional and Christian religion. This study employed the synthetic, interpretative and expository method of analysis. The findings reveals that In both Catholic and Igbo Traditional religion, God is accepted as the supreme object of worship. Also, while Christianity sees the life of everyone as singular and unrepeatable the Igbo Tradition, on the other hand admits the possibility of reincarnation as a way of “second chance” to attain perfection and ancestor-hood. The study concluded that the importance of a priest as a mediator between the deity and the community or between God and the community of God’s people cannot be overemphasized. His presence is a sine-qua-non for the successful carrying-out of sacrifices and community worships. The irrevocability of his office is also stressed, such that once one is recognized as a priest, the position cannot be revoked such that as once a priest is always a priest in both religions..
