college of bishops
The term "College of Bishops" is used in Catholic theology to denote the bishops in communion with the Pope (the Bishop of Rome) as a body, not as individuals. The Bishop of Rome (the Pope) is an essential part of that body.
== Authority of the college of bishops ==
In Roman Catholic teaching, the college of bishops is the successor to the college of the apostles.〔(New Encyclopaedia Britannica (Encyclopaedia Britannica Educational 1983 ISBN 978-0-85229-400-0), vol. 1, p. 989 )〕 While the individual members of the college of bishops are each directly responsible for the pastoral care and governance in their own particular Church, the college as whole has full supreme power over the entire church:
The college exercises this supreme and full power in a solemn manner in an ecumenical council, but also through united action even when not gathered together in one place.〔(Code of Canon Law, canon 337 §1-2 )〕
By present-day canon law it is for the Pope to select and promote the ways in which the bishops are to act collegially, such as in an ecumenical council, and it is for him to convoke, preside over (personally or by his delegates), transfer, suspend, or dissolve such a council, and approve its decrees.〔(Code of Canon Law, canons 337 §3 and 338 )〕 The Catholic Church teaches that the college of bishops, gathered in council or represented by the Pope, may teach some revealed truth as requiring to be held absolutely and definitively (infallibly).〔(Alan Richardson, John Bowden (editors), ''The Westminster Dictionary of Christian Theology'' (Presbyterian Publishing 1983 ISBN 978-0-664-22748-7), p. 344 )〕
