  5.1 Hierarchy  
  Article 133-Hierarchy  
  Canon 2831  
  Hierarchy is the organizational structure within a particular Religion or Cult whereby it is clear the relationship, obligations and lines of authority between various Offices, Positions, Orders and Institutes.  
  Canon 2832  
  A Hierarchy is not a valid Order unless it conforms to these canons and the most sacred Covenant Pactum de Singularis Caelum.  
  Canon 2833  
  An Order is a sub branch of a Religion or Cult, distinct from other organs and institutions according to its instrument of formation, purpose, by-laws, geographic region and activities.  
  Canon 2834  
  An Institution is an aggregate, college or entity of a Religion or Cult, distinct from an Order, established at a particular location and dedicated to one primary purpose of service to members and the public at large including (but not limited to) education, aged care, health, palliative care, fitness and welfare, emergency housing, emergency relief and rehabilitation.  
  Canon 2835  
  An Office is a type of trust of responsibility holding certain ecclesiastical powers, obligations and authority within a Religion or Cult as defined by its by-laws.  
  Canon 2836  
  A Position is a specific instance of an Office conveyed within or outside of an Order or Institution so that each Position is Unique.  
  Canon 2837  
  No Religion or Cult may keep its Hierarchy secret, nor fail to fully disclose the most senior members of the organization. A Religion or Cult that refuses to fully disclose its entire Hierarchy is by definition a Secret Organization and therefore subject to being banned, forbidden and stripped of any property and protection of the law.
