Autocéphalie-autonomie et le droit ecclésio-canonique pré-juridictionnel
Autocephaly-Autonomy and the Ecclesiocanonical pre-jurisdictional Right

Summary/Abstract: In recent times, we have not received any concept of “Ecclesial Diaspora” (sic) since both the Synodical era of the Canonislation of the 1st millennium and our Ecclesio-canonical tradition of the 2nd millennium. The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople acts on the basis of Ecclesio-canonical Law which belongs exclusively to the Chalcedonian Ancient Patriarchate of a City and which is analyzed into a proto-jurisdictional right to assign an Autocephaly to Its territories and also into a pre-jurisdictional right to reactivate an inert, already assigned Autocephaly or Autonomy (cf. Albania, Estonia) or to assign an Autocephaly to the territory of a newly established State, a territory which, until the assignment of the new Autocephaly, was the canonical territory of another Autocephalous Territorial Church (cf. Ukraine and Skopje-North Macedonia).
