=== Speaker/Prophet ===
The Speaker or Prophet of the Turnipism Church is the head, they have near absolute power over the whole church. The Speaker can choose to elevate people to higher roles within the church, Disciple - Bishop - Cardinal. When a Speaker steps down or dies, the Cardinals elect a new speaker to take the role (with a 6:3 majority approval). The Speaker can create or enforce nearly any rule or policy, but if the Council of Cardinals disagrees with at least a 6:3 majority, it will be blocked.
=== Council of Cardinals ===
The Council of Cardinals is directly beneath the Speaker. They have all the duties of a Bishop and more. Each Cardinal rules over a set territory by the Speaker. Below each Cardinal are the Bishops, heading houses of Turnip worship within their area of jurisdiction. Cardinals need to keep records orderly within their region, hold large ceremonies such as the [REDACTED] or the [REDACTED]. There are 9 Cardinals within the Council, each elevated from Bishop status by the Speaker. The Council can veto any proposals the Speaker makes as long as the have 6:3 disapproval.
=== Bishops ===
Bishops tend to hold jurisdiction over provinces within a country or sometimes even whole countries. They have responsibilities to hold Initiation Ceremonies, and [REDACTED], along with looking after their own house of worship. They keep up with ordinary disciples beneath them, and assign them to tasks within the Church. Both Bishops and Cardinals are expected to hold weekly ceremonies
=== Disciple ===
The ordinary turnips within the church, performing the basic tasks and responsibilities of the church.
