Pope grants Synod authority to dismiss Patriarchs

Pope Leo XII issued an apostolic letter regarding the amendment of the laws of the Eastern Churches. It grants the synod of the patriarchal churches the authority to depose the patriarch when the relationship between him and the synod is irreparably damaged for serious reasons. The amendment includes procedures allowing the synod to determine the causes of the rupture, convene a council, and elect a new patriarch with the approval of the Pope. The aim of this modification is to strengthen the authority of the synod of bishops in churches with special rights and to safeguard the unity of the Church, especially in cases of divisions that require strict measures.
