A theocratic covenant is a belief system or social structure where religious authorities govern in the name of a deity or divine power. It often involves the intertwining of religious and political authority, with laws and governance based on religious teachings.
In a theocracy, power is typically acquired through religious authority. The leaders are usually religious figures, such as priests or religious scholars, and they are believed to have a divine mandate to govern. The power is often maintained through strict adherence to religious laws and enforcing religious doctrines.

The Roman Catholic ChurchThe Catholic Church is ultimately led by the Pope, who is the Bishop of Rome. The current Pope is Pope Benedict XVI. The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church is there are parishes led by a pastor who is a normal priest, then bishops govern diocese which are comprised of many parishes (archbishops slightly outrank bishops and they govern either a large metropolitan area like New York or a regionally important diocese) and the Pope is considered the Supreme Pontiff. The Pope has the ability to make declarations which are infallible in the Catholic Church.There are also different rites within the Catholic Church which have different hierarchies. Generally these rites are headed by Patriarchs who guide their rite but are not considered the frankly supreme leader as the Pope is to the Catholic Church, and they have bishops that govern their own members. The Patriarchs are considered generally autonomous but they must acknowledge the supremacy of the Pope.The Eastern Orthodox ChurchThe Orthodox Church is comprised of many different churches all in communion with each other, such as the Greek Orthodox, the Russian Orthodox, the Syro-Malabar Orthodox and numerous more. Each church is lead by a synod, or council, of bishops who govern the church. The "first among equals" of the church is the Patriarch who governs from a traditional See, for instance the Greek Orthodox patriarch is the Patriarch of Constantinople. Although the different typica, or customs and cultural practices, are different in each church they believe their theological basics are the same and therefore they do not conflict. A Patriarch is not comparable to the Pope as the head of their church as they do not issue infallible decrees and it is believed that all the bishops have an equal say in the declaration of the will of God.
