The priest is a Catholic name, and the priest is a Protestant name. Protestantism can't have the title of priest, because Protestantism is the result of religious reform, and no one can be called "father" except God (please refer to various materials, which is one of the slogans of Protestantism against traditional Catholicism), so Protestantism thinks that its translation should be called priest, but priests in China are generally called orthodox priests.

Part of the translation on the second floor of The Godfather actually explains this point.

The godfather originally meant Padri della Chiesa, a theologian and historian who contributed to the church, meaning the father of religion. The general idea can be understood as the meaning of the founder.

The second explanation can be Baptist church, the guarantor of baptized children in Christian etiquette. It originated from the godfather godmother system in Europe. When a child is born, it needs baptism. The custom that adults who are baptized should be accompanied by believers known to the bishop and vouch for him. The general idea can be understood as baptism.

In novels and movies, the famous godfather refers to the leader of the Italian mafia, and his leadership ceremony is to baptize children. Get the name of the godfather (second meaning), but being a leader is actually the first meaning (founder, leader), which is why it is called the godfather.

In addition, the word "godfather" is specially extended to the meaning of Founder in China, such as godfather of music and godfather of movies.
