Who is the main character Ralph de Bricassart in the miniseries "The Thorn Birds"?

Here's something picky. The choice should have read priest. If it would have been a non descript clergyman, there would have been no story.

THE MINI SERIES WAS VERY GOOD, AND THE ACTORS WERE GREAT. RICHARD CHAMMB BBERLAIN WAS VERY BELIEVANNLE AS THE PRIEST.
