111 6,16| the false dogma that the bishop of Rome is infallible when
112 6,16| opposed to a single fallible bishop. (As previously noted, however,

119 7,17| Septuagint Old Testament.~ Bishop Nathanael of Vienna and
120 7,17| points with the Septuagint. (Bishop Nathanael notes that it

128 10,6 | of the Church. No single bishop can exercise (or claim to

138 10,16| Cor 11:2). This bond of a bishop with his diocese must be

140 10,16| unlawful occupation by a bishop of another's see was considered
141 10,16| carnal and worldly ties, a bishop's union with the Church
142 10,16| Ecumenical Council.~ As a bishop explains regarding this
143 10,16| abstinence. Inasmuch as the bishop's rank is the highest in
144 10,16| Church, all the more must a bishop's life be directed to total
145 10,16| Church order.~ The same bishop also notes that even earlier
146 10,16| canon prescribed that a bishop must be unmarried and preserve
147 10,16| Church.~ Writing of the bishop's position in the Church,
148 10,16| states:~ ~The dignity of the bishop is so necessary for the
149 10,16| if any are not with the bishop, they are not in the Church.”
150 10,16| communion with an Orthodox bishop means that one is cut off
151 10,16| off from the Church.~ The bishop's dignity that St. Dositheus
152 10,16| Regarding the ruling function, a bishop is called upon by God to
153 10,16| Greek means overseer, and a bishop is just that: an overseer

156 10,16| is another function of a bishop, and this occupation is
157 10,16| Dositheus’ description of the bishop as “the fountain of all

160 10,16| community, whereas only one bishop was appointed for a city
161 10,16| Additional duties of the bishop include the ordination of
162 10,16| except for the order of bishop, for which at least two
163 10,16| bishops are needed.~ The bishop also consecrates churches.

165 10,16| impossible for an Apostle or bishop personally to lay hands
166 10,16| Mystery of Holy Orders, a bishop is involved with yet another
167 10,16| to his rank alone. This bishop and all Christians alike
168 10,16| The textbook sums up the bishop's position in the Church
169 10,16| reminder that even though a bishop's authority is fundamentally
170 10,16| over the Church. Instead, a bishop is in the Church as one
171 10,16| bond so that neither the bishop nor the people can properly
172 10,16| the people united to the bishop, the flock clinging to its
173 10,16| clinging to its shepherd. The bishop is in the Church and the

175 10,16| important to note that a bishop's charisma does not guarantee
176 10,17| What limitation of the bishop's authority does the textbook
