What is the parent hierarchy, the Catholic priest (of the Church with Pope)..?
The hierarchy of ordained ministers of the Catholic Church reflects how Jesus and the Apostles set up the early Christian church.
There are three levels of the Order, deacon, priest and bishop.
The bishops are apostles today. Each carries a diocese. Special types of bishop are archbishop, cardinal and pope (who leads the whole Church).
Priests are collaborators of the bishops and can lead a parish. A special title for a priest is Mgr. Priests are called presbyters in the Bible.
Deacons assist the bishop and priests in the celebration of the Eucharist, the distribution of Holy Communion, in assisting and blessing marriages, in proclaiming the Gospel and preaching, in presiding over funerals, and engage in the various ministries of charity.
For more information, see the Catechism of the Catholic Church: http://www.usccb.org/catechism/text/pt2s …
With love in Christ.
- Why do we need Catholic priests, Rabi, pundath and therefore for us to dictate religion?
- The Eucharist in the Catholic Church - When The Eucharist Bishops Reject a person, what does it mean?
- Do you support the decision of the new Pope of the Catholic Church regarding the Latin Mass. ..?
- The confession of sins to a priest?
- The apostles were not considered Catholic?
This question was asked a couple of days ago. Do a search and you should find someone answered.
I recommend that all reports of hate responses to this booking and rant.
First, there is no "pope" in the Bible. So it is a false prophet.
Secondly, the Bible says that every believer is a priest.
Catholicism is not Christianity. Catholicism teaches a false gospel of works ( "sacraments") that leads to eternal lake of fire (Galatians 1:6-9).
and perhaps a cardinal wtf is asking anyway?
The priests, cardinals and the Pope himself are essentially ordained priests who have received the sacrament of Orders. Bishops (including the Cardinals and the Pope) have the power to ordain priests. The bishops, as before, simply manage the affairs of the Church as authority. In other words, someone has to be in charge as the chief.
