A vicar (/ËvÉªkÉr/ ; Latin: vicarius) is a representative, deputy or substitute; anyone acting in the person of or agent for a superior (compare vicarious in the sense of at second hand). Linguistically, vicar is cognate with the English prefix vice, similarly meaning deputy.. vicar forane, also known as an archpriest or dean, is a priest entrusted by the bishop with a certain degree of leadership in a territorial division of a diocese or a pastoral region known as a vicarate forane or a deanery.
A vicar differs from a vicegeregent, who is constituted by a prelate in place of a vicar. The vicar himself without special faculties cannot substitute another vicar with equal powers in his own place.
