I need help defining the bodies of the Vatican

[Frankencow]

Is the Congregation for Divine Worship part of the Roman Curia? Is the Roman Curia officially speaking for the Holy See?

[cappie]

The Congregation is part of the Curia

"In exercising supreme, full, and immediate power in the universal Church, the Roman pontiff makes use of the departments of the Roman Curia which, therefore, [b]perform their duties in his name and with his authority for the good of the churches and in the service of the sacred pastors. "[/b]CHRISTUS DOMINUS, 9 Pope John Paul II

The Roman Curia perfom their duties in the pope's name.
