Adam (bishop Of Ourense)
Adam () was the sixth bishop of the restored diocese of Ourense from 1169 until his death in either 1073 or 1074. The letter written by the cathedral chapter of Ourense to the Archbishop of Braga to announce their election of Adam survives, providing a valuable record of his career prior to assuming the episcopate. The chapter commends him for his "honest ways" (''honestas morum'') and for his "expertise in letters" (''non deest in peritia litterarum''). Adam had served as a royal chancellor in 1166–67 and was the prior of the cathedral in Ourense at the time of his elevation. In April 1173 an interdict was placed on the diocese of Ourense. The historian Enrique Flórez argued that Adam had probably defended the marriage of King Ferdinand II of León to the ''Infanta'' Urraca of Portugal, a marriage recently dissolved by the Papal legate Hyacinth. As the diocese of Ourense lay on the border between León and Portugal, and Adam had previously served in Ferdinand's chancery, Richar ...

Cathedral Chapter
According to both Catholic and Anglican canon law, a cathedral chapter is a college of clerics ( chapter) formed to advise a bishop and, in the case of a vacancy of the episcopal see in some countries, to govern the diocese during the vacancy. In the Catholic Church their creation is the purview of the Pope. They can be ''numbered'', in which case they are provided with a fixed prebend, or ''unnumbered'', in which case the bishop indicates the number of canons according to the ability of diocesan revenues to support them. These chapters are made up of canons and other officers, while in the Church of England chapters now include a number of lay appointees. In some Church of England cathedrals there are two such bodies, the lesser and greater chapters, which have different functions. The smaller body usually consists of the residentiary members and is included in the larger one. Originally, the term "chapter" referred to a section of a monastic rule that was read out daily dur ...

Husbands of born ''infantas'' did not obtain the title of ''infante'' through marriage (unlike most hereditar ...

Papal Legate
300px, A woodcut showing Henry II of England greeting the Pope's legate. A papal legate or apostolic legate (from the ancient Roman title '' legatus'') is a personal representative of the Pope to foreign nations, to some other part of the Catholic Church, or to representatives of a state or monarchy. A legate is empowered in matters of Catholic faith and for the settlement of ecclesiastical matters. The legate is appointed directly by the Pope—the Bishop of Rome and head of the Catholic Church. Hence a legate is usually sent to a government, to a sovereign, to a large body of believers (such as a national church), or to take charge of a major religious effort, such as an ecumenical council, a crusade to the Holy Land, or even against a heresy such as the Cathars. The term ''legation'' is applied both to a legate's mandate and to the territory concerned (such as a state, or an ecclesiastical province). The relevant adjective is ''legatine''.

Catholic Church In Spain
The Spanish Catholic Church, or Catholic Church in Spain, is part of the Catholic Church under the spiritual leadership of the Pope in Holy See, Rome, and the Spanish Episcopal Conference. The Spanish Constitution of 1978 establishes the non-denominationality of the State, providing that the public authorities take into account the religious beliefs of society, maintaining cooperative relations with the Catholic Church and other confessions. Thus, the relations between the Spanish State and the Holy See are regulated by the 1976 agreement and the three 1979 agreements, which modified and replaced the previous 1953 concordat. History According to , Christianity could have been present in Spain from a very early period. Paul the Apostle, St. Paul intended to go to Hispania to preach the gospel there after visiting the Romans along the way. But there is no clear evidence if he ever made it.
