AB The article examines the dynamic between papal legates and diocesan bishops through a study of the role played in this regard by the power of governance or jurisdiction. The article's first section presents the 1983 CIC's norms on power of governance and on the power of governance of diocesan bishops. After giving a historical overview, the second section outlines the reform of papal legates following Vatican II, a reform that the Council decided should take place "in relation to the pastoral office proper to bishops" (CD 9). The third and final section considers current legislation regarding papal legates and identifies important aspects of the relationship between bishops and legates.
