Religious is a term with both a technical definition and folk use.
Though seemingly redundant, there are also "religious priests" used in reference to priests who are members of orders, such as the Society of Jesus or the Franciscans. Such clergy are differentiated from diocesan priests who serve under a bishop or archbishop who has jurisdiction over a geographically defined diocese. Monks and Nuns are part of the religious ministry.
