Trust I am in the right Forum. Tried a seach without any luck. Could you explain for me please what a Bishop’s ‘ad lima’ visitation to Rome is? Its purpose?

Thank you - Barb
 
Dear Barb,

The term is “ad Limina” which why you have not been able to find a definition for it. It is a periodic visit that all bishops of dioceses must have with the pope. It’s purpose is accountability.
