He was also elevated by His Beatitude; Patriarch Castillo Mendez as a "Cardinal" of the Igreja catolica apostolica Brasileira. its first ever Cardinal for the United Kingdom in a Patriarchal Bull; which is on his website www.splxiii.com.
A position that Patriarch Mendez holds David Bell in great esteem for his knowledge understanding and wisdom. There is no question that David Bell and any bishop consecrated by him is a valid Catholic Bishop in a pure Roman Catholic Apostolic Succession.

How many priests and bishops are paedophiles in the world?
Asked by Wiki User
Another answer from our community:
The only fair way to compare is to use percentages. If you have a group of 1000 people and 100 are pedophiles, and you have a second group with only 100 people and 50 are pedophiles, it would SEEM that the first group has fewer pedophiles, when in actuality, the first group has less - 10% compared to 50%.
So, comparing percentages to the general population, there are slightly FEWER pedophiles in the group known as "Catholic priests" than there are in the general public. I'm sorry- I don't have comparisons of other denominations or religions, or occupations.
It doesn't seem possible, does it, that there are roughly the same amount pedophile priests than there are in society-at-large. One would think, with the persecution the Church has faced over this issue, that the vast majority of priests are pedophiles, but this is simply not true. They are VERY MUCH the MINORITY.

Which protestant churches have bishops?
Asked by Wiki User
Catholic, Orthodox ( who are of necessity celibate), Episcopalian, and in some cases Methodist and even some Lutheran churches. the State churches in say, Denmark are both Lutheran AND Episcopal being both Lutheran in doctrine and episcopal in church government. These Bishops have specific clerical costumes. In the Us, more businesslike terms as ( diocesan superintendent , or superintendent of Ministry are used. There are thus no Bishops or Cathedrals in American Lutheran churches, generally.
The Roman catholic churches have bishops. They normally live in Bishop's house.
I believe the Church of England also has bishops.
And the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints also has bishops; they are lay members.
