Answer:

The main role of the priests was to oversee the offerings for the gods including human sacrifices. They also performed various rituals and prayers in the Aztec temples. Additionally, priests heard confessions which included the confessions of warriors on the battleground.

The priest had a "line" to the gods, they wouls make sacrafices - the gods controlled human activity & nature, so the priests could control gods.
