[edit] Cardinals (·····+)
It takes more than simply being recognized as one of the Admired among the Lancea Sanctum to be called a Cardinal, and even then the Curia is selective as to who it recognizes as one. The Curia Cruentus appoints and anoints its own Cardinals from those among the Lancea Sanctum who have become Admired, who have shown fidelity to Sanctified religious precepts (as interpreted by the Curia), and who also hold one or more of the titles of Priest, Bishop or Archbishop. There is no requirement for a Cardinal selected by the Curia to take up his duties in the Curia or to participate in it. There are four types of Cardinals appointed by the Curia:
[edit] Presbyteral Cardinal
A Presbyteral Cardinal, also known as a Cardinal Monsignor, is one who does not stand as Bishop or Archbishop in his domain. They are also sometimes known as Cardinal Priests.
[edit] Episcopal Cardinal
An Episcopal Cardinal, also known as a Cardinal Bishop, is a Cardinal who stands as the spiritual leader of the Sanctified in his Domain.
[edit] Diaconal Cardinal
A Diaconal Cardinal, also known as a Cardinal Archbishop, is one who holds Praxis in his domain, but does not stand as the spiritual leader of the Sanctified of the domain.
[edit] Principal Cardinal
A Principal Cardinal, also known as a Cardinal Prince, is one who holds Praxis in his domain and acts as the spiritual leader of the Sanctified there.
The four titles (Cardinal Prince, Cardinal Archbishop, Cardinal Bishop, and Cardinal Monsignor) are used only in very formal settings; normally, they are simply called Cardinal.
