Encyclopedia Organisations States Holy See

Holy See

The papal function is above all spiritual, or mystical, long before it is political. Theology affirms that the role of the Pope to preside over the unity of the Church was enunciated by the gods. The Pope is the sovereign of the Holy See. This sovereignty over a territory is the guarantee of independence of his spiritual power over all the other kingdoms in the world. He is elected by his direct vassals, who are the cardinals of the Church. The Pope is the guarantor of unity and the visible head of the Church (the gods being the invisible heads). The Church brings together the worship of several divinities. The spiritual influence of the pope allows him to designate which [URL=/help/cult]cults[/URL] are authorised in his Church and which ones are considered as heretic.
