No many priests are diocesan clergy. That is to say they are not a member of any religious order and owe obedience to the local Bishop. They have been educated by and ordained specifically to serve that particular diocese. Diocesan priest can and do change diocese but this is not very common.

Roman Catholic AnswerIt depends on what you mean by "type". The only "types" I have ever heard of are two: religious or diocesan.

The difference becomes a little confusing as many religious priests end up working in parishes and you sometimes see diocesan priests teaching school, or working in the Chancery, or what have you.
