Catholic Church
The Catholic Church, also known as the Roman Catholic Church, is the largest Christian church, with 1.3 billion baptized Catholics worldwide . It is among the world's oldest and largest international institutions, and has played a prominent role in the history and development of Western civilization.O'Collins, p. v (preface). The church consists of 24 ''sui iuris'' churches, including the Latin Church and 23 Eastern Catholic Churches, which comprise almost 3,500 dioceses and eparchies located around the world. The pope, who is the bishop of Rome, is the chief pastor of the church. The bishopric of Rome, known as the Holy See, is the central governing authority of the church. The administrative body of the Holy See, the Roman Curia, has its principal offices in Vatican City, a small enclave of the Italian city of Rome, of which the pope is head of state. The core beliefs of Catholicism are found in the Nicene Creed. The Catholic Church teaches that it is the on ...

Latin Patriarch Of Constantinople
The Latin Patriarchate of Constantinople was an office established as a result of the Fourth Crusade and its conquest of Constantinople in 1204. It was a Roman Catholic replacement for the Eastern Orthodox Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople, and remained in the city until the reconquest of Constantinople by the Byzantines in 1261, whereupon it became a titular see. The office was abolished in 1964. History Before the East–West Schism in 1054, the Christian Church within the borders of the ancient Roman Empire was effectively ruled by five patriarchs (the "Pentarchy"): In descending order of precedence: Rome by the Bishop of Rome (who rarely used the title "Patriarch") and those of Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem. In the West the Bishop of Rome was recognized as having superiority over the other Patriarchs, while in the East, the Patriarch of Constantinople gradually came to occupy a leading position. The sees of Rome and Constantinople were often at odd ...

Lucas, Archbishop Of Esztergom
Lucas ( hu, Lukács; 1120 – 1181), also known as Luke, was a Hungarian prelate and diplomat in the 12th century. He was Bishop of Eger between 1156 and 1158, and Archbishop of Esztergom from 1158 until his death in 1181. Lucas is believed to have come from a wealthy and influential family, but sources are uncertain of his origin. He was one of the first students of the University of Paris. When he returned to Hungary, his ecclesiastical career ascended quickly into the highest dignities. As a confidant of Géza II in his last years, Lucas had a significant impact on the country's foreign policy and diplomatic processes. Lucas was a staunch supporter of Stephen III during the struggles in the Árpád dynasty following Géza II's death, where Stephen III's reign was contested by his two uncles. The archbishop opposed both the intervention efforts of the Byzantine Empire and the Holy Roman Empire. Lucas had an ambivalent relationship with Stephen's brother and successor Béla II ...

Chama, Archbishop Of Kalocsa
Chama, also Sayna or Chemma ( hu, Csama or ''Soma''; died between 1171 and 1176), was a Hungarian prelate in the twelfth century. He was successively Bishop of Eger from 1158 to around 1166, then Archbishop of Kalocsa between around 1169 and 1171. Early career There are several uncertainties regarding his life and career. He succeeded Lucas in the position of Bishop of Eger. In this capacity, his name first appears chronologically in a document without the exact date. Accordingly, Géza II ordered Ded of Vác and Chama of Eger to rededicate the Szentjobb Abbey (present-day Sâniob in Romania) with the consent of Archbishop Lucas. Consequently, the narration occurred sometime between 1158 (Lucas' ascension to the see of Esztergom) and 1162 (the death of Géza II). The aforementioned document was issued by Géza's son and successor Stephen III of Hungary, who narrated in his charter that the Benedictine monastery of Szentjobb was attacked and plundered by the sons of a certain "Pa ...

Ecclesiastical career Possibly he was born into a wealthy magnate family, as he was mentioned with the honorary title of "''magister''", demonstrating his university degree (presumably in abroad). His name first appears in contemporary document, when he is referred to as vice-chancellor (the first known holder of that office) in the royal court of King Andrew II of Hungary in 1209. Already in that year, Thomas was promoted to the position of chancellor, serving in that capacity until 1217. He was styled as "Chancellor of Hungary" in 1212.

Early career Cletus was plausibly born into the ''gens'' (clan) Bél (also known as Ug) of ancient Hungarian origin, which possessed villages and landholdings in the valley of Bél Rock between the mountain ranges Mátra and Bükk, in the territory of Borsod and Heves counties. His parentage, however, is unknown. He studied canon law in a foreign university in Western Europe.

Ecclesiastical affairs Andrew's origin and early career is unknown. His name first appeared in contemporary records on 3 April 1275, when he was already referred to as Bishop-elect of Eger, succeeding Lampert Hont-Pázmány, who died in that year. Shortly thereafter, his election was confirmed by Pope Gregory X sometime before 21 May 1275, when Andrew was already styled as simply "bishop". After his election, Andrew made a promise to recover the privileges and revenues of the cathedral chapter of Eger, which were confiscated by his predecessor Lampert. It included the recovery of grain and wine tithes throughout the diocese, the unlawfully usurped properties of the canons in the town of Eger, in addition to several villages in Northeast Hungary, which belonged to the cathedral chapter prior to that.

Martin ( hu, Márton; died 1322) was a Hungarian prelate in the early 14th century, who served as Bishop of Eger from 1306 until his death. Pro-royal activity His origin and early ecclesiastical career is unknown. It is possible he is identical with that Martin, who served as archdeacon of Pata prior to that. According to historian Pál Engel, Martin was elected as Bishop of Eger in 1306, succeeding Andrew, who held the dignity for three decades and died in the previous year. Martin had to pay 800 golden florins as ''servitium commune'' to the papal court, this relatively low amount reflects the insignificance of the diocese within the Hungarian church hierarchy. Martin took part in the provincial synod to Udvard, Komárom County (present-day Dvory nad Žitavou, Slovakia), convoked by Archbishop Thomas of Esztergom in May 1307. The attending prelates renewed the excommunication of those barons, clergymen and towns, who did not acknowledge Charles of Anjou as the king of Hungary ...
