(Latin: secularis, pertaining to the world)
A term applied to the clergy, who are not members of a religious order, and whose immediate superior is the bishop of the diocese, to whom they owe obedience and under whose direction they labor for the sanctification of souls, and for this purpose are not bound by rule of cloister, but are more freely in touch with persons of the world.
