Roman Catholic Church: 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 ...

Roman Catholic Church: Encyclopedia II - Absolution - Roman Catholic Church

Absolution is an integral part of the sacrament of penance and reconciliation. The penitent makes a sacramental confession of all mortal sins to a priest and prays an act of contrition. The priest then assigns a penance and offers absolution in the name of the Trinity, on behalf of the Church: "God, the Father of mercies, through the death and resurrection of his Son has reconciled the world to himself and sent the Holy Spirit among us for the forgiveness of sins; through the ministry of the Church may God give you pardon and peace, and I absolve you from your sins in the name of the Fa ...

Roman Catholic Church: Encyclopedia II - Coadjutor bishop - Roman Catholic Church

In the Roman Catholic Church, a coadjutor bishop is a special kind of auxiliary bishop.

Until then, the diocesan bishop appoints the coadjutor to act as vicar general. In modern church practice, the appointment of a coadjutor is usually done in cases where a d ...

Roman Catholic Church: Encyclopedia II - Ecclesiastical court - Roman Catholic Church

Roman Catholic courts are governed by the Code of Canon Law in the case of the Western Church (Latin or Roman Rite), and the Code of Canons of the Oriental Churches in the case of the Eastern Church (Byzantine, Ukrainian, Maronite, Melkite, etc., Rites).

Roman Catholic Church: Encyclopedia II - Primate religion - Roman Catholic Church

In the Western Church, a Primate is an archbishop (or rarely a suffragan or exempt bishop) of a see (called a primas) which confers precedence over the other bishops of his own province, or over a number of provinces (possibly part of a province), such as a 'national' church in (historical) political/cultural terms.

The Catholic Church is a Christian church, and therefore shares core beliefs with the majority of other trinitarian groups generally considered to be Christian.
