CHAPTER II : METROPOLITANS Can. 436 §1 Within the suffragan dioceses, the Metropolitan is competent: 1° to see that faith and ecclesiastical discipline are carefully observed and to notify the Roman Pontiff if there be any abuses; 2° for a reason approved beforehand by the Apostolic See, to conduct a canonical visitation if the suffragan Bishop has neglected it; 3° to appoint a diocesan Administrator in accordance with cann. 421 §2 and 425 §3. §2 Where circumstances require it, the Apostolic See can give the Metropolitan special functions and power, to be determined in particular law. §3 The Metropolitan has no other power of governance over suffragan dioceses. He can, however, celebrate sacred functions in all churches as if he were a Bishop in his own diocese, provided, if it is the cathedral church, the diocesan Bishop has been previously notified. §2 The Metropolitan can wear the pallium, in accordance with the liturgical laws, in any church of the ecclesiastical province over which he presides, but not outside the province, not even with the assent of the diocesan Bishop. §3 If the Metropolitan is transferred to another metropolitan see, he requires a new pallium.
