Clerus
Clerus (Graece κλῆρος 'sors, pars hereditatis') est universitas hominum qui ad ordinem sacerdotalem pertinent (clerici). Verbum e Medio Aevo forma clericia in usu erat. Vox praecipue ad sacerdotium Christianum revocatur; interdum autem etiam ad alias religiones earumque cultus ministros transfertur. Cleri Buddhismi saepe communiter collective revocantur sangha pristineque conditi sunt a Butta. Islam cleros non habet sensu sacerdote.
