Thanks. I dont know how to word it. That article on wiki is like many words. I need to explain the governance, I dont know how.

Pope
Cardinal
Arch Bishop
Bishop

If I explain the role of each have I explained the church governance?

Begin with that the church is governed through a hierachy where the pope is the most powerful then cardinals etc.

yes, although I'd imagine you'd have to also explain how they link together, what authority they have, who has "access" to them so-to-speak (by which I mean, any random off the street can't just chat up the pope)...

Also, explain how decisions etc get made...would they have some sort of "cardinals' court" or something, do they vote, or does the pope just decide everything, or what? - do they need majorities to decide stuff etc. And how do they decide who gets to be a cardinal/bishop/pope whatever...
