A quick definition of parson:

A parson is a spiritual leader who is in charge of a parish. They are also known as a rector and are different from a vicar. Sometimes, a lay person can be a rector instead of a clergy member. In Roman law, a rector can also be a governor or ruler. The word "rectum" means "right" or "a trial or accusation," while "rectus" means "straight" or "direct" in terms of a line of descent.

A more thorough explanation:

A parson is a spiritual leader and the head of a parish. They are also known as a rector. A rector is a presiding officer of a parish. A lay rector is a non-clerical rector, and a rector sinecure is a rector who does not have the cure of souls.

For example, a parson may lead a church service and provide spiritual guidance to members of their parish. They may also oversee the administration of the church and its activities.

Rectum means "right" in Latin. It can also refer to a trial or accusation.

For example, in a court case, the defendant may face a rectum or accusation of wrongdoing. The rectum in this case refers to the legal process of determining guilt or innocence.

Rectus means "straight" or "direct" in Latin. It is often used in the context of a line of descent.

For example, a family tree may show a rectus line of descent from one generation to the next, indicating a direct line of ancestry without any branches or deviations.

No, at least from the two people I know there that’s false. I think it’s just something like Chicago for conservatives is on par with S whereas for liberals it’s below HYS but above CCNP

I mean I think even the student body there only like 15 percent is part of fedsoc
It's more just not a good # for people who aren't willing to clerk conservative. I'm sure they place liberal clerks at an above average rate for a t-6 though. Maybe higher (not entirely sure)
