Nice start! I don't know how to finish that introductory sentence. I have an urge to say in a second sentence:

Curia in medieval and later Latin usage means "court" in the sense of "royal court" rather than "court of law" (though those two meanings are related in history). The Roman Curia, then, is the Papal Court.

Is that too pedantic? --MichaelTinkler

Thanks. I just copied the list of institutions off the Vatican website :) No, that sentence sounds fine, so I added it for you. -- SJK

You're welcome - anyway, outlines are the secret heart of the world! --MichaelTinkler

There is another article called Roman curia. Obviously, the 2 articles should be merged. olivier 09:40 Nov 8, 2002 (UTC)

I moved the text in here. It still needs merging.

[edit] Renaming of template

The template featured on this page, Politics of the Vatican City, is to a major degree a misstatement of the jobs performed by the organizations to which it refers. Perhaps it would be better to rename the template something like "Roman Curia", which includes both the temporal and ecclesiastical responsibilities of the various organizations?

[edit] I will look up the bull

I think it was Sixus V (or IV) who actually began the Curia with the bull Ineffablis Deo (I think). I will double check in the next day or so and correct the art if I was wrong.DaveTroy

Are you certain the Curia Romana wasn't started earlier? St. Francis mentions it in his Testamentum, which he wrote in the beginning of the 13th century.

[edit] Burial of Curial Cardinals

Where are Curial Cardinals buried? In their titular churches? --StanZegel (talk) 05:26, 6 February 2007 (UTC)

Depends on the Cardinal. Some are buried in the basilicas in Rome, but not all of them.DaveTroy 20:46, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Curial Names

I changed a couple of the names to reflect their new designation in Pastor Bonus. For what ever reason, esp the Rota, seems to get its name changed on a regular basisDaveTroy 20:52, 11 March 2007 (UTC)
