    Short version, he's planning on creating more dioceses?

    And I expect some reduction in metropolitan's power. Will they still be ruling hierarchs of auxiliaries with august titles. TBD.

    There's definitely a need for dioceses not to be gigantic, far-flung things with precious little relevance to the life of the parishes. How it can be cheaper to have more bishops who also do more I do not know, but it's surely better for the life of the Church (anywhere) in the long run.

      I think the key to the logic is that each be of these diocese have a full time auxiliary Bishop and Ierokyrix (Bishop in training) not to mention staff that maybe could be divided among a smaller diocese
