[Marvel Comics] Whatever happened to Nightcrawler being a priest? I've heard crazy rumors that it never happened, or it did happen but it was a fake church...what's the deal?

There is no answer to this that does not raise further questions.

Kurt was raised Catholic, and was always very religious. Eventually, he took holy orders, but carried on superheroing while wearing a nifty new collar.

Then it turned out  that his ordination was fake, and he wasn't really a priest. Instead it was part of an evil plot by the Church of Humanity (generic mutant-haters with religious symbols) to make him pope (yep). How they would persuade the College of Cardinals to elect a freshly ordained (only not really) priest who quite possibly doesn't even speak Italian was not fully explained.

Anyway, they would then have revealed that he was a mutant (this stage of the plan also involved them somehow acquiring a shapeshifting mutant who could look human until the Big Reveal - not quite as far-fetched as everything else you're about to read, since Kurt has an "image inducer" which lets him look human when necessary), thereby - somehow - destroying the Roman Catholic church.

Also, they were going to fake the Evangelical version of the Rapture (which is not recognised in Roman Catholic doctrine) using poisoned communion wafers which make people disintegrate. Exactly how this would help their plans to bring down the Catholic church and kill more mutants was not specified.

Also, they crucified Jubilee (who survived, because Archangel had just developed magic healing blood) and Skin (who didn't, because Generation X gets no love), apparently just for shock value.

... It was a weird time for the X-Men.
