Canon 220 With regard to a vacant see located inside the territorial boundaries of a patriarchal Church, in addition to cann. 225-232 and without prejudice to cann. 222 and 223, the following are to be observed: (1) the patriarch is to inform the Apostolic See as soon as possible of the vacancy of the eparchial see; (2) until the appointment of an administrator of the eparchy, the ordinary power of the eparchial bishop transfers to the patriarch, unless otherwise provided by the particular law of the patriarchal Church or by the Roman Pontiff; (3) the patriarch is to appoint an administrator of the eparchy within a month of available time from the reception of notice of the vacancy of the eparchial see, after consulting the bishops of the patriarchal curia, if there are any, otherwise after consulting the permanent synod. If the month elapses and this is not done, the appointment of an administrator devolves to the Apostolic See; (4) the administrator of the eparchy, after making the profession of faith in the presence of the patriarch obtains authority, but is not to exercise it unless he has taken canonical possession of the office by presenting the letters of his appointment to the college of eparchial consultors; (5) the patriarch is to see that a worthy and suitable eparchial bishop be assigned to the vacant eparchial see as soon as possible, but not beyond the limits established by common law.
