The basis for the defrocking of Bishop Gevorg Saroyan was the transgressions of the former bishop. The Catholicos’ decrees are a source of church law, along with the rules of the ecumenical and local councils, as well as the canons. That is, the decisions of the Catholicos are binding on the entire church. Only he can anoint the myron. Only by his hands are bishops ordained. He convenes church councils, appoints or confirms diocesan leaders. He also has the right to punish transgressing clergy.
