Hello,
I checked the term 'vicar' in a dictionary and I learnt that it should be translated into 'wikary' when we talk about a priest representing the Catholic Church and into 'pastor' when we mean a priest being a part of the Anglican Communion. Is this really the rule? Is it a huge mistake to call a priest representing the Anglican Church 'wikary'?

it is very big mistake to translate English vicar as wikary. Wikary (wikariusz) is a completely different role and it is usually translate into English as "curate"
