| Summary: | At the Second Vatican Council the bishops expressed their “earnest desire” that provincial councils should again flourish with renewed strength. This article describes the role provincial councils have played since the fourth century in choosing priests for appointment as bishops—a role that they had here in the United States with Rome's approval from 1833 until 1916. An explanation is suggested for the fact that the bishops' desire that provincial councils flourish with renewed strength has not been satisfied. |
