The COLLEGE OF CARDINALS. The Pope
IS assisted in the government Of the Church by
The Cardinals. Though next to the Pope as
bis advisors, they are not next to him in point
If Jurisdiction, and, therefore, 10 the scale of
the hierarchy; for Cardinal who is not at
the same time Bishop, ranks inferior to
ArchtishopS and Bishops. The College of
Cardinals is divided into three elasses-Cardi
na,- Bishops, Cardinal Priests, and Cardinal
Deacous The first of these classes comprises
the bishops OF six Episcopal Sees near Rome,
who, however, reside in the City OF Rome.
The Cardinal DeacOIs are generally officers OF
administration, aud, in many cases, have not
taken prieSty, though they have received, the
minor orders. The great majority OF the Col
ege, comprising in particular all the foreign
Cardinals, belong to the order of Cardinal
Priests The full number of the Holy College
is 70 but the number is rarely full. Accord
ing 10 the Papal Almanac for 1869, there we're

lual Priests, and Cardinal Deacons; together

Cardinals had been reserved ta petto, but not
