The six metropolitans Toledo, Seville, Merida, Braga, Tarragona, and Narbonne presided according to their respective seniority; the assembly was composed of their suffragan bishops, who appeared in person or by their proxies; and a place was assigned to the most holy or opulent of the Spanish abbots.
A crucifer in purple bore the capitular cross, followed by canons in violet and other officials, the bishop's coachman in a long blue buttoned coat, two little acolytes in surplices, with cloths embroidered with crosses on their shoulders and censers, deacons in dalmatics of cloth of gold, a suffragan bishop in cope of cloth of gold and a white mitre, and the bishop similarly robed.
And when, at Rouen, she appealed in the name of the Church to the Pope to grant her a fair trial, not a single letter was written by the Archbishop of Rheims, High Chancellor of France, to his suffragan, the Bishop of Beauvais, demanding cognizance of the proceedings. Nor did the King make any appeal to the Pope, to prevent the consummation of the judicial murder.
This seems, however, a legend, since the new building was not consecrated till May 27, 1285, the Archbishop Lorenzo Periandro officiating, assisted by the Metropolitan of Spalato and the suffragan bishops of both dioceses.
Only one Scottish prelate, the Bishop of Whithorn, remained a suffragan to York, but in the fourteenth century Whithorn also was lost to the archbishops, and became a part of the Scottish Church. The Bishop of Durham remained nominally in subjection to the see of York, but in reality he was often a greater man than his superior.
He has supreme authority in the ecclesiastical affairs of all the same islands, where there are also three bishops suffragan to himself." On October 14, 1600, the Dutch sighted the cape of Espiritu Santo, whence they steered toward Manila.
But there are certain country districts covering a wide area in which the number of Indian Christians is very great. An Indian suffragan bishop might well be given jurisdiction over one of these areas. There are certainly some Indian priests fitted for such a trust. The result would probably be a great growth of spiritual life, and wholesome church organisation, and self-support.
The bishop of Nice is suffragan of the archbishop of Ambrun in France; and the revenues of the see amount to between five and six hundred pounds sterling. We have likewise an office of the inquisition, though I do not hear that it presumes to execute any acts of jurisdiction, without the king's special permission.
It is possible that Gregory, who directed that York and Canterbury should each appoint twelve suffragan bishops, intended to make the sees equal in every respect. The anarchy and divisions of the northern kingdom prevented this plan from being carried out.
There was a coalescence of strange correspondences, While the Queen of England was celebrating with Emperor Napoleon the tremendous naval exhibition at Cobourgh, for the subjugation of the world by monarchs, the laying of the Atlantic Telegraph was accomplished and the President of the United States exchanged the message with the Queen; and the destroying fires accompanied the celebration of its success, till at length also the Crystal Palace was consumed by fire; and the spirits who are subject to Popish prelates and monks, announced the "Philanthropic Convention in Utica," and the Archbishop of New-York laid the corner stone to his new cathedral by the assistance of six suffragan bishops.
