The term Holy See comes from the Latin Sancta Sedes, meaning “Holy Chair,” and originates from the enthronement ceremony of the Bishop of Rome, the Pope. Strictly speaking, the cathedra, i.e. the chair or throne, represents the position and authority of the Holy Father or a bishop, and the place where he resides in the territory of his jurisdiction. Here the Holy See refers to the “seat of government” of the universal Church. Geographically, this seat of government is located in the Diocese of Rome. In terms of actual governance, the Holy See refers specifically to the position of the Holy Father, who “by reason of his office as Vicar of Christ, namely, and as pastor of the entire Church, has full, supreme, and universal power over the whole Church, a power which he can always exercise unhindered” (Dogmatic Constitution of the Church, #22), and by extension the Curia, which consists of the Secretariat of State, the Council for Public Affairs of the Church, the Sacred Congregations, tribunals, and other institutions and offices (Code of Canon Law, #360).

The Holy See is also interchangeable with the term “Apostolic See.” The Code of Canon Law provides the following definition: “…The term ‘Apostolic See’ or ‘Holy See’ applies not only to the Roman Pontiff but also to the Secretariat of State, the Council for the Public Affairs of the Church, and other institutions of the Roman Curia, unless the nature of the matter or the context of the words makes the contrary evident” (#361).

The term “see,” from the Latin “sedes,” is actually the technical term for all dioceses and the places of residence for their bishops. For example, Bishop Loverde is the Bishop of the “See of Arlington” and his cathedral of residence is the Cathedral of St. Thomas More, also in Arlington; the cathedral also houses the bishop’s cathedra or throne. Originally, sedes designated the Churches founded by the Apostles, and later limited particularly to the five great patriarchal sees: Rome, Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Constantinople; interestingly, to this day, these latter four patriarchs follow the Holy Father in honor.

This understanding and ordering is reflected in the pronouncement of the Popes: For example, Pope Gelasius I (492-496) declared, “Est ergo prima Petri apostoli sedes” (i.e. “Therefore, the first is the seat of the Apostle Peter”). In the Liber Pontificalis of Pope Leo III (795-816), the following prescript is recorded: “Nos sedem apostolicam, quae est caput omnium Dei ecclesiarum judicare non audemus” (“We dare not judge the Apostolic See, which is the head of all the Churches of God”). Clearly, the terms “Holy See” and “Apostolic See” evolved to refer specifically to the authority of the Holy Father and Rome.

Interestingly, each February 22, the Church celebrates the Feast of the Chair of St. Peter. To celebrate the feast of a “chair” at first hearing, sounds strange. However, “the chair” refers to the primacy and authority our Lord entrusted to St. Peter, which together are a unifying strength for the whole Church; so, really the “Holy See” is what is celebrated and honored. This primacy and authority are symbolized by the monument of the chair of St. Peter located against the wall of the apse behind the main altar in St. Peter’s basilica sculpted in bronze by the artist Bernini; the sculpture is a reliquary for what is traditionally believed to have been the original chair or cathedra of St. Peter. Again, what is of importance is not so much the actual chair, but what that chair symbolizes– the Holy See.

I want to understand.

Can you shed more light?

You want to lay a trap, so that you can immediately pour derision on anything that I say. I am restricting my religious commentary to the Economics of God thread.

The truth you consider a trap?

Cannot you defend your faith?

Are you afraid you will learn something different and have to make a decision.

Here is a quote from that book you consider full of errors and lies.

“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:”

I consider you to be full of errors and lies. I knew you did not "want to understand". That you want to preach. I'm not afraid If anything I might learn. I'm certain that I won't be learning anything from you. When you are addressing me, I have to keep my hand on the sword hilt at all times and never relax or let down my guard, for you instantly leap to the attack in the most aggressive and treachous ways. What I learn from people like you is not theology - as far as I can see you're one of Satan's little helpers, a sower of pain and discord, most definitely not somebody whom I can trust for any sort of reliable Sunday school type information.

You have quite a cheering squad going for your Catholic baiting. I'm not interested in providing entertainment, like some sort of baited bear.

So you going to answer the question. Or are you going to proclaim you are right and puss out again? That is what you do when you know you will get your ass handed to you again.

So you going to answer the question.

I already did answer it: I said that I would be discussing religion on the Economics of God thread, and that I would not be reacting to your baiting.

Your style of evangelism-by-insult reminds me of the Taliban.

Thing is, I know my God. I have talked to him. He has saved me from death and disaster many times. He's real and he helps me, so I stick with him.

Your god, and the Taliban's god, are nothing but abstractions, presented to me by wild-eyed, angry and bigoted men. There's no discussion with either of you of anything real. It's your way or the highway. I choose the highway, because I don't see or sense any real god behind either of you. I'll stick with my God and his family.

To reveal the Economics of God, and give good recipes for scrambled eggs, of course.
