Catholic church hierarchy - Patriarchs.
Patriarch is the title for the highest-ranking bishop of an autonomous church or federation of local eparchies (dioceses) with effective jurisdiction over all its bishops.

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Beliefs The Catholic Church is a Christian church, and therefore shares core beliefs with the majority of other trinitarian groups generally considered to be Christian.
The Nicene Creed and the Apostles' Creed, which are accepted by all major Christian denominations, can be considered a fundamental core of the Catholic Church's beliefs. However some Christian denominations have developed a different understanding of many central issues concerning Christ's role in the Church and of the salvation of believers that vary greatly from the Church's historic teachings. The Catholic Church has published a detailed exposition of its ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Criticisms and controversies Over the centuries, the Catholic Church has encountered criticisms for numerous reasons. (Some particular controversies are discussed in separate articles. See, for instance, on the charge of anti-Semitism, Relations between Catholicism and Judaism.)
Pope John Paul II acknowledged publicly that certain members (including leadership) of the Catholic Church have sometimes been involved in questionable activities, and asked God to forgive the sins of its members, both in action and omission.

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Overview The Roman Catholic Church traces its origins to Saint Peter, apostle to Rome. It rose to prominence with the Constantinian shift in the late Roman Empire (4th century), under Constantine I. Christianity was the Roman state religion from 380. See History of the Roman Catholic Church for details.
The Roman Catholic Church teaches that it was instituted by Jesus Christ for the salvation of all people, and that this is accomplished through teaching and administering the seven sacraments - Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation ( ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - The consecrated life Consecrated Life, referred to also as Religious Life, is a way of Christian living within the Catholic Church that, publicly professed, is recognized by Church Law (canons 573-746 of the Code of Canon Law). Those who profess it are not part of the hierarchy. They commit themselves, for love of God, to observe as binding obligations what the Christian Gospel proposes as counsels (Evangelical Counsels) rather than commands.
Most join what are called Religious Institutes (cf. canons 573-602, 605-709), often referred ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Note on liturgical rites in use within the Latin or Western Church For many centuries there were as many or more liturgical rites in the Latin-Rite or Western Catholic Church, as in the East. In the aftermath of the Council of Trent, in 1568 and 1570 Pope St Pius V suppressed the Breviaries and Missals that could not be shown to have an antiquity of at least two centuries. Many that remained legitimate even after this decree were abandoned voluntarily, a process that continued into the second half of the twentieth century. A few persist today for the celebration of Mass, b ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Terminology Roman Catholic Church is a term that other Christian Churches often, though by no means exclusively, use for this Church. The Church itself too accepts this description in its relations with other Churches, but normally calls itself the Catholic Church. It has also sometimes, because of the centrality for it of the see of Rome, sometimes applied the adjective "Roman" to itself in its entirety even in internal documents, as when, at the start of chapter 1 of the First Vatican Council's Dogmatic Constitution on the Catholic Faith ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Liturgy The Catholic Church sees the eucharistic liturgy, the celebration of the Mystery of Christ, in particular the Paschal Mystery of his death and resurrection, as the high point of its activity and the source of its life and strength.
As explained in greater detail in the Catechism of the Catholic Church and its shorter Compendium, the liturgy is something that "the whole Christ", Head and Body, celebrates - Christ, the one High Priest, together with his Body, the Church in heaven and on earth. Involved in the heavenly litu ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Sacraments The Roman Catholic Church, like other ancient Christian Churches such as the Eastern Orthodox Church, recognizes and administers seven sacraments as gifts from Christ to his Church. These signs perceptible to the senses are seen as means by which Christ gives the particular grace indicated by the sign aspect of the sacrament in question, helping the individual to advance in holiness, and contributing to the Church' s growth in charity and in giving witness. Not every individual receives every sacrament, but the Church sees the sacraments as ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - Roman Catholic Church - Particular Churches within the single Catholic Church Unlike "families" or "communions" of Churches that see themselves as distinct Churches, the Church of those who are in full communion with the Pope considers itself a single Church, not a federation of Churches. It has authoritatively expressed this self-understanding in, for instance, the 28 May 1992 Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on some aspects of the Church understood as communion, 9.[10]Accordingly, it has never adopted the usage of those who apply the term "Roman Catholic" to the Latin-Rite or Western Church alone, ...

Roman Catholic Church - The Pope.
What most obviously distinguishes the Catholic Church from other Christian bodies is the link between its members and the Pope. The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 882, quoting the Second Vatican Council’s document Lumen Gentium, states: "The Pope, Bishop of Rome and Peter’s successor, ‘is the perpetual and visible source and foundati ...

| | | | Catholic church hierarchy: Encyclopedia II - 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 chur ...
