What caught my eye was the statement that "Such authoritative teaching is a particular exercise of the calling and responsibility of the body of bishops...." At that point it almost seems the Primate expresses the discernment of the Collegium, not unlike the Primate of the Episcopal Church, who may have an opinion but for full authority can only reflect the expression of the General Convention.

The former seems more <I>primus inter pares</I> than the latter.Marshall Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02807749717320495495noreply@blogger.com
