Hi All— Curious! And my two cents. Of course I am learning too, and learning more. So, Unum Sacerdotium would have sounded better See declension of Presbyter http://www.cultus.hk/Latin_vocab/noun1245/presbyter.html
One Clergy, yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyter The word *presbyter* etymologically <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etymology> derives from Greek <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_language> *πρεσβύτερος* (*presbyteros*), the comparative form of *πρέσβυς* (*presbys*), "old man".[3] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyter#cite_note-3> However, while the English word priest has presbyter as the etymological origin,[4] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyter#cite_note-4> the distinctive Greek word for "priest" is never used for presbyteros/episkopos in the New Testament, except as being part of the general priesthood of all believers, [5] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyter#cite_note-5> with the first Christians making a distinction between sacerdotal Jewish and pagan priests and New Testament pastors.[6] <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Presbyter#cite_note-6> In Latin, sacerdos, sacerdotis is a priest. And accepted over Presbyter. n. Sacerdotalis, n priest Sacerdote, priest adj. Sacerdoltialis, Sacerdotiale, adj., priestly, connected to … Only in the Ablative Singular do we have Sacerdote (which btw, mean priest in Spanish… ) See: http://www.cultus.hk/Latin_vocab/noun3/sacerdos.html Presbyterium/ Presbyterii, is an assembly of Elders. Ergo, Presbyterian Ministers. Yes and priests TOO. Btw, I doubt in the Catholic sense. But –ium is a suffix that feeds all! :) This exercise may be regarded as nitpicking, but its not.
