Christus Dominus
 | This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2017) |
Christus Dominus (Christ the Lord; abbreviation "CD") is the Second Vatican Council's "Decree on the Pastoral Office of Bishops".
The document was approved by a majority vote of 2,319 to 2[1] of the assembled bishops and was promulgated by Pope Paul VI on 28 October 1965.[2] Christus Dominus calls for strong episcopal conferences of bishops, to set the standard for the church in their region, while fully supporting the Vatican and the Pope.[2]
CD describes how bishops exercise their office at three levels: in the universal church (chapter one), in their own "particular church" or diocese (chapter two), and at the regional or national level (chapter three).[3]
