4. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856) |
HIERARCHY, eccl. law. A hierarchy signified, originally, power of the
priest; for in the beginning of societies, the priests were entrusted with
all the power but, among the priests themselves, there were different
degrees of power and authority, at the summit of which was the sovereign
pontiff, and this was called the hierarchy. Now it signifies, not so much
the power of the priests as the border of power.
