Catholic church hierarchy - Origin and use of the term Hierarchy
Pseudo-Dionysius is credited as the first to attribute a specific hierarchy to the church. Christians were found in one of three orders: The Laity, The Religious, The Clergy. None of these orders was to be considered holier than the other; holiness was to be obtained within the order you found yourself in. Though lost for several centuries due to the growing association of hierarchy with lines of authority, this idea has been recaptured by Vatican II.
Over time, the term became associated more specificly with those members of the church who were called to positions of leadership, and is now used to describe the ordered body of clergy and ministers that serve the Church. In the vernacular, it is often used interchangeably with the term Magisterium, which refers to the teaching authority of the college of bishops and the pope together.
In addition to the threefold order inspired by God, several offices and titles have arisen over the two millennia history of the church. These reflect the influence of the structures of the Imperial Rome, medieval feudalism, and modern reforms. The list below includes virtually all of the titles, both functional and honorary, that are in use in the Catholic church today. They are ordered according to the hierarchy of honor (or ceremonial protocol).
