Me sorprendió la forma de la palabra del día, porque me imaginaba que era parecida a su traducción polaca o inglesa. Pero "el sacerdote" es completamente diferente de la palabra "ksiadz" o "priest". Y además, ¡es una lástima que no conozca a ninguna mujer sacerdote!

Sorry - I completely forgot about the English translation!

I'm surprised by the form of the word of the day, because I imagined that it would resemble its Polish or English translation. But "el sacerdote" is completely different from the word "ksiadz" or "priest". And besides, it's a pity that I don't know any female priest!

Los ancianos sean tenidos por dignos de honor, sí, pero es verdad también que los sacerdotes no son más santa que la gente de la iglesia.

The elders are to be considered worthy of honor, yes, but it is also true that the clergymen are no more holy than the members of the church.

Me sorprendió la forma en que la palabra del dia es escrita, --- I was surprised by the way the word of the day is written.

This might be another posibility = Me sorprendió el deletreo de la palabra del día --- deletreo = spelling (the way it is writen)

…porque me imaginaba que era más parecida a la traducción Polaca e Inglesa --- because I imagine its translation would be more similar to Polish and English (languages)

Pero, la palabra sacerdote es completamente diferente a las palabras…

No no no, I expected it to be similar to a Polish or English translation! - Issabela, Nov 12, 2009
The word "más" was key in grasping the meaning. Without it it could go either way...that's why it's good to have an English version also...I just had to move three words around - 0068e2f4, Nov 12, 2009

Mi cuñado no es sacerdote, sino es clérigo. Soy ateo yo mismo, así que no hablemos de la religión nunca.

My brother in law is not a priest, but a clergyman. I'm an atheist myself, so we never talk about religion.

You're wise - not to talk religion with a true believer. My brother is evangelical, always chiding, always condemning non-believers to perdition. I'm an agnostic and am comfortable with that, which in the past, has made him quite mad. We talk weather. - 0057ed01, Nov 12, 2009
Our family is a pretty big tent when it comes to religion: fundamentalist Christians, Mormons, Buddhists, Methodists, Subuds, Episcopalians, Catholics, atheists, agnostics. . . - lorenzo9, Nov 12, 2009

Mi sacerdote es un ventrílocuo. Tiene un cura en una rodilla y una cura en la otra - reza demasiado.

My priest is a ventriloquist. He has a priest on one knee and a plaster on the other. He prays too much.

Al amanecer, el sacerdote susurrórechazo el diablo!- con una voz fuerza.

After getting up, the priest whispered, "reject the devil!", with a strong voice.

"Las Palabras de la Semana" - couldn't work in "truco" or "masticar".

I know my errors will be duly noted - thanks in advance.

DR I don't understand, susurró means whisper how could it be with a strong voice?...Después del amanecer...Al amanecer...I don't know which one you mean...write it in English, see what you got. - 0068e2f4, Nov 12, 2009
Haven't you had to strongly whisper to a child when they are acting up in Church? - DR1960, Nov 12, 2009

I think there are Episcopalian woman priests, but doubt there ever will be in the Catholic Curch.

En una calle hubo un accidente muy feo, y un sacerdote quiso saber qué pasaba.

Entonces, le dice al policía: Por favor, déjeme pasar.

No se puede pasar, le contestó el policía.

Entonces, el sacerdote le dice: Soy pariente del accidentado.

¡Y el accidentado era un burro
