The Grand Synod of Cardinal Ecclesiarchs
The Grand Synod is the equivalent of the College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, or the Orthodox Pentarchy, but more accurately akin to the former.

The Grand Synod serves as a council of advisors for His Holiness the Divine Rector, and upon the death of a Rector is elects from among its number the successor to the Vicar of Saradomin.

In the event, such as the present situation, where there is a lack of guidance towards a particular fellow to assume the role of the Divine Rector, the Church is led primarily by the Synod until such a person arises.

The Grand Synod consists of;
The Bishop of Varrock, Archbishop of Misthalin - Cesare Sforza (Kaiser Klaus)
The Bishop of Camelot, Archbishop of Kandarin - Anita Vansalder (Eln)
The Prince-Bishop of Falador, Archbishop of Asgarnia - Francis Villiers (Longshanks)
The Bishop of Ardougne - Joseph Alom** (A Disgrace)
The Bishop of Burthorpe - Tolat Aberdire (Delemis)
The Bishop of Yanille - Leon de Neapoli (Rallen)
The Bishop of Lumbridge - VACANT
The Bishop of Sarim - VACANT
The Exc. Bishop of Karid - VACANT


Members of the Grand Synod are entitled to the use of "Cardinal Ecclesiarch" in their address.

Upcoming Synod Meetings
There are currently no urgent matters arising which prompt an organised meeting of the Synod.

However, it is hoped that the Grand Synod could meet weekly to discuss matters arising within the Church.

The Saradominist Inquisition - Ranks
The Inquisition's ranking system is extremely basic. It is a two tier system, with an optional middle tier at the discretion of the Grand Inquisitor.

Tier One: The Grand Inquisitor
The G.I is tasked with overseeing the activities of and coordinating the Inquisition.
He is the second highest Judicial official in the Church, whose actions may only be appealed to and repealed by the Divine Rector.
Current: Bishop Tolatsson (Delemis)

Middle Tier: Regional Directors
The R.Ds are a non-compulsory post, appointed by the G.I at his own discretion, but may be removed by the Divine Rector. They act as Legates (Representatives) of the Inquisitional Judiciary, and thus the Holy See, in the absence of the G.I.
Current: None

Tier Two: Inquisitors
The Inquisitors are the men on the ground, searching for heresy and assessing the pious integrity of the people of the Faith.
They may be placed in supervision of legal Courts by the G.I. if found necessary.
Current:
Divinia Faithe (Wae Bae)
James Robineau (Bruce Willis)


Misc.
Characters which do not rank properly, due to race or other inappropriate case.
Basically, a category for Finn.
Current:
Smegface of the Saragorgak (Mudbrain)
