Here is specifically some information. We no longer have priests, though some left the priest hood through this. You have your text, the Bible and your basic practice of faith. I think Catholics may need priests as there are some rituals that is pretty hands on. We have a strong lay organization with leaders, that take on the responsibility of leadership and raise others up. Our basic practice doesn’t need a priest. We all do the same basic practice in our homes. http://sokaspirit.org/home/newsletter/relationship-between-nichiren-shoshu-and-the-soka-gakkai/
