Upon consecration to the episcopacy they became capable of being Pope and were, therefore, in that moment of consecration made both bishop and Pope. Bishops were not chosen because they were considered wedded to their diocese, and so the transference of a bishop from one diocese to another was considered uncanonical.
Con la consagración al episcopado estaban capacitados para ser Papa, por consiguiente, en el momento de la consagración episcopal se convertían al mismo tiempo en obispo y Papa. Los obispos no eran elegidos porque se les consideraba casados con su diócesis y por ello la transferencia de un obispo de uno diócesis a otra era considerada como no canónica.
