2 Nephi 10:5 Priestcrafts

Priestcrafts as I understand them meant church leaders providing some kind of religious service for money.

One of the cross-references referred to how the chief priests turned Jesus over to the Romans. I feel like my definition of Priestcrafts could be expanded. These priests did that which was wrong and dishonest for fear of losing their followers. I suppose followers does mean money. But their actions shed light on how Priestcrafts might simply be defined as using a religious position for self-interested purposes.
