thanks.

It is taking me some time to get through this with other things going on this weekend. I ran into this...

"And in early days, the similarity of Bishops in Council to lords in Parliament was even more marked; for although a Bishop had tenure for life (unless he was found guilty of some grave sin), he was in general elected by the Christians of his diocese"

I did not know that. Another request. Where should I look for a good, concise, neutral, historical account of the Catholic Church?
