Dicastery

A dicastery (from Greek: δικαστήριον, romanized: dikastērion, lit. 'law-court', from δικαστής, judge/juror) is a department of the Roman Curia, the administration of the Holy See through which the pope directs the Roman Catholic Church. The most recent comprehensive constitution of the church, Pastor bonus (1988), includes this definition:

By the word "dicasteries" are understood the Secretariat of State, Congregations, Tribunals, Councils and Offices, namely, the Apostolic Camera, the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See and the Prefecture for the Economic Affairs of the Holy See.[1]

Dicasteries of the Roman Curia

These dicasteries or departments are grouped in the following categories:

gollark: It's fast, lots of stuff compiles to it, and it's designed to be sandboxed.
gollark: WebAssembly would probably be better than JS for that.
gollark: Maybe they'll try and spin being stuck on 14nm as good, because it's a bigger number or something and therefore obviously better.
gollark: Never trust any of it ever.
gollark: > this is the part of the collision code that could possibly be wrongWRONG! All your code is suspicious and COULD be doing evil things. You just don't know it.
