Theocracy is a form of government in which a deity is the source from which all authority derives. The Oxford English Dictionary has this definition:* 1. a system of government in which priests rule in the name of God or a god. * 1.1. the commonwealth of Israel from the time of Moses until the election of Saul as King. * * An ecclesiocracy is a situation where the religious leaders assume a leading role in the state, but do not claim that they are instruments of divine revelation: for example, the prince-bishops of the European Middle Ages, where the bishop was also the temporal ruler. Such a state may use the administrative hierarchy of the religion for its own administration, or it may have two 'arms'administrators and clergybut with the state administrative hierarchy subordinate to the religious hierarchy. Theocracy differs from theonomy, the latter of which is government based on divine law.The papacy in the Papal States occupied a middle ground between theocracy and ecclesiocracy, sinc |
