1. Jesuits -- Priests
   In the same year during the closing of the Osek camp, more Jesuits (four priests and eight brothers) left. Also from Hejnice six members (scholastics, one novice and brothers) left in the same year.
2. Druids -- Priests
   Druids were part of the cultures of the tribal peoples who were called "Keltoi" (Κέλτοι) or "Keltai" (Κέλται) and "Galatai" (Γαλάται) by the Greeks and "Celtae" and "Galli" by the Romans. These words evolved into the modern English terms "Celtic", "Gaulish", and "Galatian". In the communities they served, druids combined the duties of priest, arbitrator, healer, scholar, and magistrate. Both men and women served as druids.
3. Zoroaster -- Priests
   Throughout his childhood Zoroaster spent a lot of time outdoors and was always interested about what was going on around him. He was very intelligent and energetic. He was known for always asking questions of the priests and teachers. The phrase “curiosity killed the cat” did not seem to have fazed him. There is a story that is told about his childhood of how he was invited to sit and talk with the head priest of his town. While he was there he asked the priest many questions and actually came up with some things that stumped the priest.
4. Judas Priest
   At the beginning of the '80s, Judas Priest was a top concert attraction around the world, in addition to being a best-selling recording artist. Featuring the hit single "You've Got Another Thing Comin'," Screaming for Vengeance (1982) marked the height of their popularity, peaking at number 17 in America and selling over a million copies. Two years later, Defenders of the Faith nearly matched its predecessor's performance, yet metal tastes were beginning to change, as Metallica and other speed/thrash metal groups started to grow in popularity. That shift was evident on 1986's Turbo, where Judas Priest seemed out of touch with current trends; ... the record sold over a million copies in America on the basis of name recognition alone. However, 1987's Priest...Live was their first album since Stained Class not to go gold. Ram It Down (1988) was a return to raw metal and returned the group to gold status.
5. Judas Priest -- Albums
   Judas Priest should never have covered "Johnny B. Goode." Despite this aweful song, the rest of the album is an improvement over "Turbo" and is a step closer to the masterpiece that is to come. Thankfully Priest decided to drop the synthesized guitar sound and the overtly pop metal production. The mighty Priest doing a song called "Heavy Metal" has got to be good. Other favorites are "Blood Red Skies" and "Love Zone." "Ram It Down" is actually a decent Priest song as well.
6. Judas Priest -- Bands
   Judas Priest was one of the most influential heavy metal bands of the '70s, spearheading the New Wave of British Heavy Metal late in the decade. Decked out in leather and chains, the band fused the gothic doom of Black Sabbath with the riffs and speed of Led Zeppelin, as well as adding a vicious two-lead guitar attack; in doing so, they set the pace for much popular heavy metal from 1975 until 1985, as well as laying the groundwork for the speed and death metal of the '80s. Formed in Birmingham, England, in 1970, the group's core members were guitarist K.K. Downing and bassist Ian Hill. Joined by Alan Atkins and drummer John Ellis, the band played their first concert in 1971. Atkins' previous band was called Judas Priest, yet the members decided it was the best name for the new group.
7. Primal Fear -- Judas Priest
   Primal Fear is a German power metal/heavy metal band formed in 1997 by Ralf Scheepers (Vocals/Ex-Gamma Ray), Mat Sinner ( Bass and Vocals/Sinner), Stefan Leibing and Tom Naumann (Guitars). Their style is a heavy power metal sound with the Halford type vocals of Ralf Scheepers. Scheepers formed the band after he was not hired as Rob Halford's replacement in Judas Priest, a job for which he was a finalist, that went to Tim "Ripper" Owens. Their new album is due to be released sometime in 2007.
8. Judas Priest -- Rob Halford
   Now that Judas Priest, after years of slaving away in near anonymity, is a hot commodity, this set of early tracks has been released. Basically, the British group's sound hasn't changed much over the years. This LP shows Robert Halford's vocals in good shape and the two guitarists' prowess. Remind current fans of this effort and feature with current catalogue. Best cuts: "Tyrant," "Dreamer Deceiver," "Victim Of Changes," "Island Of Domination," "Deceiver."
9. Exorcism of Emily Rose -- Priests
   In a series of flashback the film depicts the exorcism of Emily Rose which is performed on Halloween night. The events of the rite are played out on an audio tape in the courtroom. During the rite, the priest uses holy water and words from the Rituale Romanum. In her fit of demonic possession Emily breaks down the ropes tying her to the bedpost and runs into the barn. There further supernatural phenomenon occur and finally it is revealed that she is possessed by six demons.
10. Halford -- Judas Priest
    Halford left the band in 1991, citing internal tension. In 1998 he came out of the closet during an interview on MTV. Halford, whose nickname is the Metal God, returned to Judas Priest in 2003. The band's most popular songs include "Breaking the Law," "Hell Bent for Leather," and "Livin' After Midnight."
