“You must all follow the lead of the bishop, as Jesus Christ followed the Father; follow the presbyterium as you would follow the Apostles; reverence the deacons as you would reverence the commandment of God. Let no one do anything concerning the Church, apart from the bishop. Let that celebration of the Eucharist be considered valid which is celebrated with the bishop presiding or by anyone to whom he has committed it. Where the bishop appears, there let the people be, just as where Jesus Christ is, there is the Catholic Church.”

—St. Ignatius of Antioch

Letter to the Smyrnaeans, 8
