	THE COLLEGE OF CARDINALS
		Following that of Pope, the title of cardinal is the highest dignity in the Catholic Church, and was recognized as early as the pontificate of Silvester I (314-335).
		The College of Cardinals was constituted in its current form in 1150: it has a dean, who is the bishop of Ostia, along with the other titular church which he already holds, and a camerlengo or chamberlain, who administers the goods of the Church when the See of Peter is vacant.
		Canon 350, para 1, states: "The College of Cardinals is divided into three ranks: the episcopal rank which consists of both the cardinals to whom the Roman Pontiff assigns the title of a suburbicarian church and the oriental patriarchs who have become members of the college of cardinals, the presbyteral rank, and the diaconal rank."

		Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church is the full, canonical name of the rank conferred by the Pope on certain deacons, priests, and bishops within the Catholic Church.
