Canon
193
1. The
eparchial bishop to whom the care of Christian faithful
of another
Church sui iuris are committed is bound by the serious
obligation
of providing all the things in order that these Christian faithful retain the
rite of their own Church, cultivate and
observe it
as much as they can; he should foster relations with
the higher
authority of that Church. 2. The eparchial bishop
is to
provide for the spiritual needs of those Christian faithful, if it is possible,
through presbyters or pastors of the same
Church sui
iuris as the Christian faithful or even through a syncellus constituted for the
care of these Christian faithful. 3.
Eparchial
bishops, who appoint such presbyters, pastors or syncelli for the care of
Christian faithful of patriarchal Churches,
are to
formulate plans of action with the patriarchs who are concerned in the matter
and, if they are in agreement, act by their
own
authority and notify the Apostolic See as soon as possible;
if the
patriarchs, for any reason whatever, disagree, the matter
is to be
referred to the Apostolic See.
