 | | It is also in the secret consistory that the cardinals receive from the pope the cardinal's ring, are appointed to some titular church or deaconry, exercise the option of passing from one titular church to another, and of ascending from the order of deacons and priests to the order of priests and bishops respectively. | | | To this consistory the bishops residing within one hundred miles of Rome are summoned, while invitations are sent to all the other bishops of Italy; moreover, titular patriarchs and archbishops and bishops who live in Rome, as well as bishops who happen to be sojourning there at the time, are likewise present. | | | It is also here that the pope appoints the camerlengo and the Vice-Chancellor of the Holy Roman Church, and performs the ceremony of "closing" and "opening" the mouth of the new cardinals. |

| | Consistories who are convinced that they cannot comply with a decision of a broader assembly because it does not agree with the Word of God cannot be compelled to do so, provided that they state to the classis the points at which the decision of the assembly disagrees with the Word of God. | | | Consistories shall instruct and admonish those under their spiritual care who are considering marriage to marry in the Lord. | | | The Consistory shall regulate the worship services, which shall be conducted according to the principles taught in God's Word: namely, that the preaching of the Word have the central place, that confession of sins be made, praise and thanksgiving in song and prayer be given, and gifts of gratitude be offered. |

| | Consistories have also taken on some bigger topics: the church and culture (1979), the revision of the Code of Canon Law (1982), threats to human life and religious sects (1991). | | | At this consistory, John Paul heard opposition to his planned admission of past failings by the church, including the Galileo case, wars of religion and the Inquisition. | | | The most recent consistory (1994) dealt primarily with preparations for the jubilee year, although the cardinals also discussed ecumenical relations, the International Year of the Family and the better use of retired bishops. |

| | It is not the Consistory of the Eastern Avenue Christian Reformed Church, but Classis that is not satisfied with the decisions of Synod in re the teachings of the Reverend H. Hoeksema. | | | The consistory was, therefore, compelled to choose between two alternatives: to permit the revolutionary movement of the “Ninety-two,” admit that they were the congregation proper and acknowledge their own deposition; or to treat them as rebellious members that had officially resigned for their membership of the Eastern Avenue Christian Reformed Church. | | | It shows that, while the consistory of Eastern Avenue Christian Reformed Church was firm in its refusal to start disciplinary action of any kind against the pastor, it left no stone unturned to convince the classis of its error and thus to prevent the threatening breach. |

| | Consistory - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | In the Reformed Church, a Consistory is the board of elected church officials that include the Elders and the Deacons. | | | The consistory is a formal meeting of the Sacred College of Cardinals of the Roman Catholic Church, except when convened to elect a new pope (then the name is conclave, and specific rules apply, also to its composition). | | | At the consistory cardinals are generally assigned titular churches in the diocese of Rome, though Paul VI abolished their functional involvement in the governance of these churches; the cardinals formally "take possession" of these churches at a later date. |
