By Lauretta Brown, EWTN News - Entering into an old chapel on Green Street in central Philadelphia, first-time visitors will always observe the startling sight of a nun clad in bright pink continuing an unbroken 108-year vigil of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament...

Of those dioceses, 11 are in the midst of the proceedings as of February 2023, while 15 have completed the process.

In theory, the answer is “No”, though in practice it can be “Yes” under various circumstances—which circumstances also include a prudential judgment about the consequences of the “No”. Let me explain... All authority in the Church is in one important sense personal. I do not mean that ecclesiastical authority does not depend on the office held by the person.
