A sect whose members reject most of the forms and ceremonies of the Romish Church, but adhere to its distinguishing doctrines, such as the sacrifice of the mass, the necessity of confession, etc. Their name is said to be derived from that of a priest, their first leader. The sect has never been numerous; but a few members, it is thought, may still (1867) be found in the Pyrenaean provinces of France.
