Contents: Roman Type: principle of ecclesiastical authority; papal absolutism; some features of the sacramental system; outlook for Roman sacerdotalism; Greek, Anglican and Other Types: Greek type, especially as represented in Russia; Anglo-Catholic movement; less important developments of sacerdotalism.
