The relation, in German, of 'Pfaff(e)' to 'Priester' is roughly that of 'moggy' to 'cat'.

BTW, if a German looks to this thread, I only know Pfaffe used for Catholic clerics, but someone just told me he also knows it being used for protestant clerics. How do you use it?

Abby, I've no information at all if that song was much in circulation. I even didn't know it before I thought when that day came along that there should be a song about Hus.
