...Thus for instance, if, as, above, one Bishop returns with a considerable
part of his clergy and flock, the Holy See will be inclined to retain
him under its own immediate jurisdiction. In further eventual organisation
of hierarchy alone Catholic lines, their can, of course, be no question of a
synodal form of episcopal government, nor can any hopes be entertained
for the retention of a position or title like that of “Catholicos” which is
not supported by a long-standing ecclesiastical tradition in Malabar.
