Geistligheten eide mange steder store jordegods og fikk en viktig politisk og administrativ rolle i statsadministrasjonen. Dette skyldtes ikke bare deres rolle som religiøse ledere, men også at de var den høyest utdannede gruppen i samfunnet og forvaltere av skriftkulturen. I middelalderen og frem til tidlig moderne tid hadde geistligheten som regel derfor også ansvaret for rettsvesenet og mange andre oppgaver i statsstyret. I Danmark-Norge var geistligheten sammen med adelen en av to privilegerte («frie») stender; biskopene var automatisk medlemmer av <a href="/wiki/Riksr%C3%A5d" class="mw-redirect" title="Riksråd">riksrådet</a> og lenger ned i det kirkelige hierarkiet inntok prestene gjerne de fremste posisjonene i sine lokalsamfunn.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> I Europa oppnådde geistligheten flere steder <a href="/wiki/Suverenitet" title="Suverenitet">suverenitet</a> over landområder og dannet geistlige stater (jf. <a href="/wiki/Fyrstbiskop" title="Fyrstbiskop">fyrstbiskop</a>). </p><p>Synnøve Veinan Hellerud skriver at «geistlighetens privilegier sprang ut av ideologien om de tre stendene. Geistligheten var den første standen mens adelen, krigerne, utgjorde den andre. Tredjestanden omfattet alle andre, bønder og borgere, de som arbeidet. Geistligheten hadde i prinsippet rang over adelen fordi de sto nærmest Gud».<sup id="cite_ref-Hellerud_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hellerud-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Med henvisning til <a href="/wiki/Middelalderbyen_Oslo" title="Middelalderbyen Oslo">middelalderens Oslo</a> skriver Hellerud at «det ble sett på som helligbrøde å øve vold mot geistlige personer. Straffen for å skade en prest var mye strengere enn om man skadet en vanlig bymann tilsvarende. Geistlige hadde i tillegg et ekstra rettsvern i det at de bare kunne saksøkes inn for kirkens egne domstoler. De hadde også økonomiske privilegier, de slapp å betale skatt til kongen (...) <a href="/wiki/Biskop" title="Biskop">biskoper</a>, <a href="/wiki/Kannik" title="Kannik">kanniker</a>, abbeder og abbedisser hadde ofte aristokratisk bakgrunn og forbindelser med de fremste menn i landet».<sup id="cite_ref-Hellerud_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Hellerud-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="Presteslekter">Presteslekter</h4><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Presteskap&veaction=edit&section=3" title="Rediger avsnitt: Presteslekter" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>rediger</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Presteskap&action=edit&section=3" title="Rediger kildekoden til seksjonen Presteslekter"><span>rediger kilde</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Både i kristendommen og andre religioner har det vært vanlig at prestegjerningen i praksis gikk i arv i familier, spesielt i eldre tid og i samfunn der prester var blant de fremste lederne i samfunnet og deres rolle favnet langt mer enn det rent religiøse. I det protestantiske Europa oppstod det såkalte «presteslekter»<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> der sønnene ofte fulgte i fedrenes fotspor som prester, noen ganger i de samme embetene. Dette hadde nær sammenheng med geistlighetens rolle som stand og samfunnselite i tidlig moderne tid og før. I norsk historie stammet mange presteslekter opprinnelig fra Danmark, siden tilgangen på skoler og universitetsutdannelse var bedre der.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Også i oldtiden og andre religioner er det mange eksempler på presteslekter. I hinduismen utgjør prestekasten <a href="/wiki/Bramin" title="Bramin">braminer</a> den høyeste kasten. Innen jødedommen finner man <a href="/wiki/Kohen" title="Kohen">kohanim</a> og det er mange eksempler på dynastier av rabbinere. I romerriket var religionen tett sammenvevd med staten og de høyeste presteembetene bare åpne for patrisiere. I oldtidens Egypt er det også mange eksempler på at prestegjerningen som en av de fremste stillingene i samfunnet gikk i arv i de samme familiene. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Referanser">Referanser</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Presteskap&veaction=edit&section=4" title="Rediger avsnitt: Referanser" class="mw-editsection-visualeditor"><span>rediger</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-divider"> | </span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Presteskap&action=edit&section=4" title="Rediger kildekoden til seksjonen Referanser"><span>rediger kilde</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <div class="mw-references-wrap"><ol class="references"> <li id="cite_note-1"><b><a href="#cite_ref-1">^</a></b> <span class="reference-text">«<a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://lokalhistoriewiki.no/index.php/Geistlighet">Geistlighet</a>», lokalhistoriewiki.no</span> </li> <li id="cite_note-Hellerud-2"><b>^</b> <a href="#cite_ref-Hellerud_2-0"><sup>a</sup></a> <a href="#cite_ref-Hellerud_2-1"><sup>b</sup></a> <span class="reference-text"><cite class="citation book">Hellerud, Synnøve Veinan (2000). <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://urn.nb.no/URN:NBN:no-nb_digibok_2015041608112"><i>Oslo</i></a>.
