Dudley Baxter has written: 'England's cardinals' -- subject(s): History, Catholic Church, Cardinals, Church history
The Catholic Church was the only church in the Middle Ages and the pope ruled the church and monarchies of Europe.
well first they have a pope and cardinals and when the pope dies they can only choose from four of the cardinals to become the next pope. also they consider themselves a nevadican church which is still catholic just slightly different.
Agnelo Rossi has written: 'Il Collegio Cardinalizio' -- subject(s): Catholic Church, Catholic Church. College of Cardinals
The Cardinals of the Catholic Church come from every continent, from various nations, and represent nearly every race.
It's just Catholic, not Roman Catholic. Roman is an epithet first commonly used in England after the protestant revolt to describe the Catholic Church. It is never used by the official Catholic Church. Below is a link to a list of currently living Cardinals (as of the end of February, there are approximately 91 Cardinals over the age of 80 who are not eligible to vote in the March 2013 Conclave, and maybe 115 or so Cardinals of voting age.)
The order was the Pope, Cardinals, Priest and the Monks or Nuns..
The Pope is the supreme authority (under God) in the Roman Catholic Church.
In order of 'rank' in the Catholic church, the Pope, the cardinals, the archbishops and bishops, the priests, deacons and brothers of religious orders.
Your Eminence Your Eminence In the Catholic Church, at least in the U.S., only cardinals are addressed as Your Eminence. Archbishops who are not cardinals are addressed as "Your Excellency"
