[[Image:holysee-arms.png|thumb|right|The coat of arms of the Holy See]] The term ''Holy See'' (Latin: ''Sancta Sedes'', lit. "holy seat") refers in a geographic sense to the episcopal see of Rome, of which the Pope is the ordinary (''i.e.'', the diocesan bishop); in canon law, the terms ''Holy See'' and ''Apostolic See'' refer to the Pope ("Roman Pontiff") and the Roman Curia together unless otherwise indicated by context (can. 361). Because in this latter sense the Holy See comprises both the Pope and the Roman Curia, it is effectually the government of the Roman Catholic Church; as such, it is recognized as having a legal entity under international law. Although the Holy See is closely associated with the Vatican City, the independent, sovereign state governed by the Holy See, the two entities are in fact separate and distinct. The Holy See administers the Vatican City, including all diplomatic functions; foreign embassy are accredited to the Holy See rather than to the Vatican City, and the Holy See establishes diplomatic agreements ("Concordats") with other sovereign states, on behalf both of itself and of the Vatican City (as appropriate). Generally speaking, the Holy See is a party on its own behalf to treaties of Ecclesiastical interest, and a party on the Vatican City's behalf to treaties of technical significance (''e.g.'', regarding co-operation with Italy). Because the Holy See comprises more than simply the Pontificate, it does not dissolve upon the death or resignation of the reigning Pope; in contrast, the heads of the dicasteries of the Roman Curia (such as the prefects of congregations) cease to hold office immediately upon the Pope's death. During a ''sede vacante''—that is, the interregnum occurring between the Pope's death and the election of his successor—the government of the Holy See (and therefore of the Roman Catholic Church) falls to the College of Cardinals. The Camerlengo administers the temporalities (''i.e.'', properties and finances) of the Holy See during this period. Canon law prohibits the College and the Camerlengo from introducing any innovations or novelties in the government of the Church during this period. The head of the Apostolic Penitentiary (normally a cardinal, called the Major Penitentiary) also remains in office during the period of ''Sede vacante''. The Holy See is also called the "Apostolic See", although this name properly refers to any of five most important sees founded by the Apostles; the five Apostolic Sees, all of which are of patriarchal rank are (in descending order of precedence): Rome (St. Peter and Paul of Tarsus), Constantinople (St. Andrew), Antioch (St. Peter), Alexandria (St. Mark), and Jerusalem (Jesus and the Apostles). Aside from Rome, the archbishop Archbishopric of Mainz, which was also of prince-elector and primate (religion) rank, is the only other see referred to as the "Holy See," although this usage is rather less common. == External links == * [http://www.vatican.va/ The Holy See Website] * [http://www.cin.org/users/jgallegos/primacy.htm Primacy of the Apostolic See] * [http://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/vt.html CIA World Factbook on Holy See] * [http://www.St-Takla.org Holy See of St. Mark] (Coptic Christianity) Canon law The Papacy
