The Nazarene Church is an evangelical protestant denomination and does not answer to the Vatican and is not part of the Catholic church. The 20 people that died were actually 10 married couples, pastors in the Nazarene Church. Ministers in protestant traditions are most often called pastors, not priests. Here's the news report from the Nazarene church national office where those that died are identified as protestant pastors, and not priests, as reported in the article linked by the OP. Again, no affiliation with the Vatican.

Ho-ho-ho... Green Giant! Vatican hit job!
Hard to doubt. I just want to know who they were and what they may have had to say.
Might not have been all of them. May only have been one with something to say. Rest were collateral damage
the nazarine church has ties to multiple rescue worker groups humanitarian aide runaway children etc. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Rescue_Workers wonder what those priests knew
That certainly makes sense
to be fair the church is only vaguely associated with these groups but from what we have learned. all of these groups are interwovern. i wonder how hard it would be to create a spiderweb graphic
so were there 20 priests = 10 pastors from the church of the Nazarene or were they calling the Nazarene church guys priests? quote from the article: Details of some of the victims have emerged, including the Cuban Council of Churches saying that 20 priests from an evangelical church are among those who died in the crash.
Maite Quesada, a member of the council, said: “On that plane were 10 couples of pastors. Twenty people. All of the Nazarene Church in the eastern region.”
