papal consistory
In the Roman Catholic Church a consistory is a formal meeting of the College of Cardinals called by the Pope. Consistories serve as an opportunity for the Pope to elevate new Cardinals to the college. A meeting of the College of Cardinals to elect a new Pope is called a conclave.
==History==
The term "consistory" comes from the (ラテン語:con-sistere); "stand together".〔(''Papal Consistory'' ) by Kevin Knight (Catholic Encyclopedia, 2009)〕 Early popes conferred with their Roman presbytery which included the deacons appointed to oversee different parts of Rome. This tradition continued as deacons were replaced with cardinals and those cardinals (from among whom the pope was chosen) continued to meet at the request of successive popes.
Consistories became an opportunity for the pope to decide matters of state and dispense justice directly, with the support and advice of Roman bishops and those bishops from other regions who happened to be in Rome. Pope Leo IV ordered that consistories be held twice weekly. Pope John VIII relaxed that edict slightly and an order of twice-monthly consistories.〔 With the Gregorian Reform, the Church limited outside influences on the papacy and the selection of popes and the power of cardinals increased. Tradition developed that the pope would use consistories (closer to twice-yearly by the 17th century) to reveal a list of those that were to be elevated to the rank of cardinal.
Eventually, responsibility for matters of justice was transferred to the Roman Rota and the functions of the Church were transferred to the Roman Curia reducing the need for regular consistories. Subsequently, consistories became primarily ceremonial in function.〔
