Causa VII

GRATIAN. A certain bishop, weighed down by a long illness, asked that another be substituted for him; the Supreme Pontiff assented to his prayers and granted him what he had asked. But afterward that same bishop recovered, and he desires that what he had previously done be rescinded; he raises a question against the one who had joined him and reclaims his chair as though it were owed to him. (Qu. I.) Here it is first asked whether, while a bishop is living, another can be ordained in the same church. (Qu. II.) Second, whether this man can reclaim the chair which another received through his intercession.
