The Pope consults to his Bishops before he teaches or acts on behalf of the church. The Pope can call for a General Council. A General Council is when the Pope calls all the Bishops in the World to meet and discuss the teachings and guidance of the Church. Another gathering is a Synod, which is when the Pope calls some of the Bishops to discuss a topic, where they will make a decision on laws related to the Church.
