Do they have comteplative priests?

 

[Maximilian75]

Yes. I believe the Carmelites have them.

JP2 almost became one… talk about ‘what-if’…

 

[Cloisters]

Yes, a lot of the Cloistered men’s monasteries have priests.

 

[JimR-OCDS]

Carmelites, Trappists, Benedictines and Carthusians are contemplative orders.

That being said, Contemplative life isn’t restricted to cloisters and monasteries, but open to all Christians.
