I posted because in this thread it is difficult to know what limits are intended with the use of the word ompohor.Dear brother Vico,
Can you explain your reason for bringing this up? Every priest is immediately and properly (canonically speaking) under the omophor of his own bishop, whether within or outside the territorial boundaries.
This is an ancient Rule of the Church that applies just as much to the Latin Church. A priest in a Latin Church who does not belong to the diocese of Rome is bound to his bishop first and foremost, not the Pope.
Blessings,
Marduk
Basically, the presbyter must be incardinated, so he is not bound to the Patriarch. Similarly, as you have said in the Latin Church.
