<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>An '''Episcopal See''' is the office of the chief [[bishop]] of a [[particular church]]. ''See'' comes from the [[Latin]] word ''sedes'', meaning seat, which refers to the episcopal throne (''[[cathedra]]'') located in the bishop's church ([[cathedral]]) in which the bishop sits as the principal symbol of his office. ''See'' is still used in that way but only in poetic contexts.<br /> <br /> By extension, '''Episcopal See''' also refers to the local [[ordinary]] jurisdiction of that chief bishop (the [[diocese]] or particular church) and also the governmental bodies assisting the bishop (such as the [[curia]]).<br /> <br /> With the four different meanings, things become rather confusing when ''sedes'' is used in [[canon law]]. An example of all four usages is the term ''Holy See'', which in the [[Roman Catholic Church]] could mean the ''cathedra'' in the [[Basilica of St. John Lateran]], the person who sits in that ''cathedra'' (the [[Pope]]), the governmental bodies which assist him in the exercise of his office (principally the [[Roman Curia]]), or the territory over which he is local ordinary ([[Rome]]), all depending on the context. This is not a problem when the Pope and the Roman Curia are both in Rome, but this presents a problem when they are in different places. Canon law eventually came up with a solution for this problem (see the article ''[[Holy See]]''.)<br /> <br /> Usage of the term is most common in the [[Roman Catholic Church]] and the [[Anglican]]/[[Episcopal]] churches, but is also used by some [[Lutheran]] churches; the term is also found translated into several other languages.</div>
