Changes

The Council of Sardica in 343 decreed that chorepiscopi should not be consecrated where a priest would suffice{{ref|2}}, and gradually their numbers declined.{{ref|2}} The rank is extinct in the territory of the Western Patriarch. In some [[diocese|dioceses]], the title "chorbishop" is sometimes used as an alternative title for an auxiliary bishop. However, it should be noted that the functions of an auxiliary usually differ from this specific office.
