Consistorium, also known as “Consistory”, is a term first used by the Carolingians in the 8th Century to describe the official legislative ecclesiastical body responsible for debating and approving the rules and standards or “canons” of the newly created Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church).

The term Consistorium comes from the earlier Latin word consist meaning “to standard form, to solidify, to take up position or duty”.

The first Consistorium was held in late 742 in Paris at which a number of the first rules and regulations of the newly formed Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) called Iuris Canonum, or “Canon Laws” were approved, including (but not limited to):

(i) The new rule that a “thing not named in Latin, has no ecclesiastical authority” under Sacré Loi (Sacred Law) was approved; and

(ii) The doctrine of the Latin Rite and supremacy of the Catholicus Ecclesia (Catholic Church) as the one (1), true and only universal apostolic church above all other Christian faiths was approved; and

(iii) The positions of Primates equivalent to Lords of the Church, Bishops equivalent to Barons of the Church and Priests equivalent to Aldermen of the Church were approved; and

(iv) The doctrine of the Church as supreme tenants and stewards of the land and secular leaders (Lords, Barons and Aldermen) as their “vassals” was approved; and

(v) The Primates for the Metropolitans of Britannia, Scotia, Aquitania, Austrasia, Frisia, Burgundia and Alamannia were elected; and

(vi) The candidate Carloman, son of Charles Martel was unanimously elected Vicarius Christi Zacharias and Primate of Regnum Italae.

The concept of Consistorium was taken over by the Roman Cult around the 13th Century and has remained an essential component of their formal operation and claims.
