 ===== Positions =====
-  - **Patriarch** - A patriarch is the most senior Bishop of a deity.  The God's most influential representative in the whole world, perhaps equivalent to the Pope (although there are three different Popes!) Only Lawful Deities will have a Patriarch.
+  - **Primate** - A primate is the most senior Bishop of a deity.  The God's most influential representative in the whole world, perhaps equivalent to the Pope (although there are three different Popes!) Only Lawful Deities will have a primate.
   - **Prince-Bishop** – A Theocrat who rules a sovereign state in the name of his god.  It might be a completely independent nation or city, or it might be part of a larger country.  As far as I know the only existing religious Ruler is the Pope in Vatican City.  However, there were others who were part of the Holy Roman Empire, and who were electors in the various diets, councils and assemblies.
   - **Prelate** - The Chief Bishop (of a given faith) in a Country or Region.  A prelate oversee's the other bishops and is the patriarch's representative in the country. Only large countries have their own  prelate -  but they may have prelates from more than one religion. Only Lawful Deities will have a church that is this structured.
