| Summary: |
The theological foundation of the Episcopal Conference should be
considered as the official assembly, the collegiate form of the episcopate, and the
varied ways of exercising the collegiate, sometimes effectively such as in the Ecumenical
Council, others as collegiate friendship such as in the Episcopal Conference,
which is not a collegiate event in the legal sense but nevertheless poses
questions about whether its decisions are obligatory and the basis for their binding
nature. The answer to the question necessarily takes into account conciliar
teaching and subsequent reflection, reference to the Canonical Law Code, the
1985 Bishops’ Synod with its subsequent debate and to the Apostolic Constitution
Apostolos suos. From these references it can be concluded that the decisions
of the Episcopal Conference, with the recognitio of the Apostolic See, are binding
for the Bishops in it, not by the authority of the College or the Pope, but by the
Conference’s own authority, derived from the joint application of the power of
each Bishop. |
