This dynamic involved two different issues. First, the Armenian Catholic Church legally had the chance to reunite ecclesial and civil power under a single authority, an important proof of its socio-political emancipation within the Ottoman system. Second, recognition of an Armenian Bishop as Bishop to all Catholic subjects and attribution of the title of 'Civil Patriarch' to this prerogative legally established that Melkites, Maronites, Syriacs and Chaldeans would be placed under his authority. Accordingly, for the first time in the history of Catholicism in the Ottoman Empire, the Sacred Congregation <i>de propaganda fide</i> was obliged to deliberate the possibility of reuniting all Catholic Ottoman subjects under a single civil authority.
