The studies which do exist have concentrated largely on ordained clergy rather than on non-ordained workers. The present study analyzes a survey of priests, members of women's religious orders and lay men and women who work for the Catholic Church. Priests were found to display more satisfaction than the lay respondents. The women in religious orders displayed satisfaction levels equal to the priests' on some questions, but on other questions, their satisfaction ranked with, or even less than, the lay respondents'. The paper outlines some of these differences in detail, and suggests some tentative hypotheses for their causes.
