Należy do nich m.in. prowadzenie przez ks. Lemańskiego swojego bloga oraz wypowiadanie się w nim nie tylko bez oglądania się na zgodę kościelnych hierarchów, ale również w taki sposób, że stawia to pod wielkim znakiem zapytania ich autorytet i pozycję społeczną.

Thank you. I hope one of these does the job well as one can see from the examples. I agree 'hierarch' sounds odd, but 'church hierarchy' is in use, in the UK at least

If you are looking for something slightly more idiomatic than "hierarch" (although it's undoubtedly the correct term, it's not a word that's used much nowadays).

: Leaders and hierarchs are not exactly the same. And there's nothing wrong with 'hierarch' and no need to resort to loose translations just for the sake of diversity.

church officialdom
This is plural = kościelnych hierarchów = and COLLECTIVE, i.e. not ONE hierach, but all the hierachs.
The resulting lawsuit sent shock waves through church officialdom.
We are advised by the authors that on issues classified as ideological (excepting the UN) church officialdom takes a, strong position.
That is a major paradigm shift that is even more evident on the ground than in cloistered meetings of high church officialdom. I

Thank you, Łukasz. We will have to disagree :considering the plural form, the collective nature of the term, and the slightly wry nuance, "church officialdom" fits to a tee. See the provided examples and a million more on the Web.

Co do Heńka (tum Cię czekał ;) - ulokowałaś w hierarchii jego gafy dziejowe jak 100% kobieta, co jest niezwykle urocze :).
Otóż, tak ! Błądziłem maluczki w odmętach struktury mego Kościoła i Łukasz przekonał mnie, by nie powstrzymywać się od używania żywych, angielskich słów i nie zastępować ich takimi - z pozoru poprawnymi terytorialnie.
A to już nie moja wina, że Heniek VIII zgotował nam rozłam i tym samym skomplikował sprawy w tym wątku.
