rector

rector
In ecclesiastical law, one who rules or governs. A name given to certain officers of the Roman Catholic Church.
The spiritual head and presiding officer of church. A clergyman elected by the members of the parish to have permanent charge of it. He is the official head of the parish and ex officio head of all parochial organizations.
In English law, he that has full possession of a parochial church. A rector (or parson) has, for the most part, the whole right to all the ecclesiastical dues in his parish; while a vicar has an appropriator over him, entitled to the best part of the profits, to whom the vicar is, in effect, perpetual curate, with a standing salary, 1 Bl.Comm. 384, 388
