Summary/Abstract: The primary intention of this paper is to show relations between bishop Council and Pope in the Dogmatic Constitution on the Church Lumen Gentium of the Second Vatican Council. In this paper will be discussed an issue of the origin and position of the Episcopal ministry. The First Vatican Council, and all Councils did not explicitly dealt with the position of the Bishop in the Roman Catholic Church, but the emphasis was always on the Pope. The Second Vatican Council, however, a large part, we can say the most important document is devoted to bishops and their relationship both to the other bishops, and to the bishop of Rome. The central part of the work is devoted to clarify the position of Episcopal Council of Rome. In the paper it will be discussed whether in Roman Catholic Church, an Episcopal Council has a power and what kind of power it has and also will be discussed who gives to the Episcopal consecration and authority. This paper will deal with issues regarding the Pope primacy and whether the Pope primacy is truncated by establishing and evolving Episcopal Council which took place in the documents of the Second Vatican Council. And finally, in the paper it will be discussed an extent to which the Eucharistic ecclesiology influenced perhaps the most difficult and the most important issues of the Dogmatic Constitution of the Church.
