The Camera of Charity is the supervisory body of the Exalted Church, which appoints, reviews, and dismisses Bishops as well as maintain the church canon.

History

Organization

Members of the Camera are known as Carmines. This name is taken from the holy site Mount Carmel at which many people were witness to the power of God. Members of the Camera are all called to witness for God and took their name from that duty. The number of Carmines is not fixed and it has both grown and shrunk over the years. Members often die in office and their seat is not filled until a suitable replacement is found or, when there are several suitable bishops available, several can be appointed.

Columnaria Cancellaria

The Columnar Chancellery is the administrative division of the Camera. It is responsible for recording and communicating decisions as well as publishing the church canon.

Auditores ex Atrio

The auditors of the camera are assistants to the Carmines in their work in discerning spiritual matters. They also serve as the personal secretaries of the Carmines and help to organize their work. Carmines are typically elderly members of the clergy and were thus unable to travel extensively. As the church grew, there were fewer and fewer Carmines relative to the total number of Exaltationists, which forced them to depend on intermediaries and inferiors.

Rostrata

Rostrata comes from the Latin phrase for "discernment on the rostrum" and refers to a formal hearing before a panel of auditors.

Aperta

Aperta comes from the Latin phrase for "discernment in the open" and refers to the informal hearings that traveling auditors held when called upon. The Auditor Aperta typically operate together in groups of at least two so that they can practice commensalism when traveling.
