Dicastery of Law

The Dicastery of Law is an upper department of the Archbishop's cabinet. Led by the Lord Chancellor of the Church and founded on the hard work of Bishop Hylan, the Dicastery deals with the legal and financial matters of the Council of Bishops, the Church of the Holy Light, and the Archbishop in especial.

Purpose
The Dicastery is comprised of a triad of congregations.

The Congregation of the Chancery pens, publishes, and archives with official documents, especially decrees of the Archbishop and acts of the Council of Bishops.

The Congregation of the Treasury manages, distributes, raises, and documents the charitable assets of the Council of Bishops.

The Congregation of the Inquisition assists in the legislation, enforcement, commentating, and judgement of the Canon Law of the Church of Light.

In addition, the Dicastery serves as the court of third instance - the second appellate court - in some contentious matters of law.
