Present norms of incardination and excardination should be so revised that, while this ancient institution still remains intact, they will better correspond to today's pastoral needs. Where a real apostolic spirit requires it, not only should a better distribution of priests be brought about but there should also be favored such particular pastoral works as are necessary in any region or nation anywhere on earth.
To accomplish this purpose there should be set up
[1.] international seminaries,
[2.] special personal dioceses or
[3.] prelatures (vicariates),
[4.] and so forth [et alia, i.e. "and other things"],
by means of which, according to their particular statutes and always saving the right of bishops, priests may be trained and incardinated for the good of the whole Church.
