It seems that it would be the classifications of Holy Orders, deacons, priests, and bishops, although frankly, the classification of deacon doesn't make a great deal of sense to me...what are you reading, Catholic Jeopardy? Is it true that a pope need not be a priest at all? By the same token then, can a cardinal, which is just a title like monseignor, be bestowed upon any man?
Well, wait, I guess a bishop doesn't fit into that category of Holy Orders, right?
So now I'm second-guessing myself.
Is it something like those in the Curia and government, then a second level of administrators that comprise the voting board, and then those without voting rights cuz they are old geezers?

What a boys' club.
Your friend, stirring up some mud.

HA! Wikipedia says bishops, priests and deacons!
Admittedly, still in the dark about that one. Frankly, I like my second answer better. It makes more sense to me.
