No, Stalin did not study for the priesthood.

Stalin went to a religious school - as did every other 
member of the Georgian elite.  If Stalin "studied for 
the priesthood", so did everyone else in Georgia who was 
born to rule, or whose parents aspired for him to join 
those born to rule.

This "priesthood" myth is a commie rationalization to 
purify the communist party past of its elitist past.
Stalin no more studied for the priesthood that Trotsky 
was a peasant.
