Can someone explain how the various orders work within the catholic church? Are they a completely independent structure from the diocese? Are orders accountable to the bishop structure (in the context of being an order)? Do bishops provide the boundaries for orders, or are the independent? And, since the pope is a special case of bishop, is the pope’s relationship with the orders the same as any other bishop, or is that role a special case in this instance as well? Are there any special titles that go with orders?

dude this sounds like a church version of a family tree or somthin it’s all connected but also kinda separate i think orders are like their own clubs but still gotta play nice with the bishops so it’s a bit of both the pope is at the top of the club ladder but he still joins the parties like all the other bishops pretty neat idea if u ask me
